Creating, Leading, and Sustaining Collaborative Cultures
with Allison Johnson, MEd
Advance your career by mastering the leadership and collaboration skills schools are actively seeking. This course helps pre-service and current educators strengthen their professional impact, position themselves for leadership roles, and become trusted change-makers who build high-performing, innovative school communities.
You’ll learn how to intentionally design the conditions that bring people together, align efforts, and turn good intentions into collective action. By examining real-world scenarios from schools and districts, you’ll see how everyday choices, conversations, and systems shape how educators work together—and how you can guide teams toward clarity, momentum, and positive outcomes.
This course also focuses on what it takes to keep strong professional communities thriving over time. You’ll practice techniques that help you nurture buy‑in, navigate complexity, and reinforce habits that make teamwork part of how your organization operates—not just a short-term initiative. You’ll finish ready to strengthen your professional influence and contribute to a school environment that grows stronger, more connected, and more effective year after year.
Audience: This course is for pre-service teachers, veteran teachers, and anyone in between.
