Direction is set in a season. Formation happens all year.
A summit or a keynote does real work. It aligns your leaders, produces a plan, and builds momentum you can feel. That work matters, and it is where many schools should begin.
But AI does not hold still. What your team decides in the fall can be dated by spring. The schools that flourish will be the ones with a person inside the building whose charge is to stay on the frontier and bring it home: someone who keeps learning, translates each development into your mission and your faculty culture, and helps you act with wisdom rather than react to the noise.
That person is your champion. Almost no school has one yet. This cohort exists to form them.
What a champion actually does.
Stays on the frontier
Monitors developments, tests tools first-hand, and separates real capability from hype before it reaches your faculty.
Contextualizes
Translates fast-moving, general AI guidance into your mission, your culture, and the realities of your building.
Strategizes
Works alongside leadership to make wise, phased decisions instead of reacting to each new headline.
Keeps learning
Grows as a practitioner so your school is never starting from zero when the ground shifts again.
Trains peers
Coaches colleagues and runs internal professional development that actually changes practice.
Builds new systems
Designs the workflows, practices, and guardrails that AI makes possible, shaped to how your school works.
A full school year, walked together.
The cohort runs from October through May, paced to the rhythm of your school year. Your champion leaves able to write policy, coach faculty, and help guide your strategy, and they bring a capstone plan built for your school, not a generic template.
- Sixteen live sessions. Bi-weekly, 75 minutes, led by Sean and recorded for your team.
- Private coaching. Two one-to-one calls with each champion, when the work gets hardest.
- Two head-of-school briefings. So you stay close to the work and your champion stays empowered.
- A national peer cohort. Counterparts at schools like yours, solving the same problems alongside you.
- A monthly Frontier Briefing. The signal pulled from the noise, drawn from our research library.
- Capped at twenty schools. Small enough for real discussion and real access.
The right person in the seat.
This works when the champion has standing with faculty, access to leadership, and protected time. An academic dean, a technology director, a department chair, or a respected teacher-leader can all carry it well. Enthusiasm is not enough on its own; the role needs someone who can move the school.
Enrollment is co-signed by the head of school, because you are building institutional capability, not sending one person to a course. The two executive briefings keep you close to the work, and keep your champion empowered to act in service of your mission and the formation of your students.
Founding rate for the first ten schools.
Per school, for the first ten schools to enroll. Locked for life on renewal.
Per school, once the ten founding seats are filled.
Pay by a single invoice. A Title II-compliant scope of work is available for schools pursuing federal professional-development reimbursement. This is an investment in capability your school keeps: a leader who carries the work forward long after the cohort ends.
The founding cohort begins this October.
Ten founding seats at the founding rate, then enrollment opens at the standard rate. Start with a discovery call, or join the interest list and we will reach out as seats open.
