In 2026-2027, the ABPC’s Powerful Learning Network is using Peter M. DeWitt and Michael Nelson’s newest book Lead Collectively: From Belief to Action to Impact to guide the year of intentional, collaborative learning. This impactful and timely text focuses on leadership at all levels: from the classroom to the central office, making it relevant for every educator. We invite all teachers, instructional coaches, and administrators to join in the learning! Drawing on decades of leadership experience and research, the authors offer actionable tools, protocols, and insights to help educational leaders foster trust, coherence, and accountability.
