AMA leaders and organizations must demonstrate, above all else, a fierce commitment to change and a willingness to be vulnerable and reflective. If you bring commitment and vulnerability, this program can transform your school and school system.

AMA is intended for districts and CMO networks that aspire to build system-wide change by creating bright spots, proof points, and learnings at a selection of pilot schools to then scale across the broader network/school system. Organizations may choose to start by sending a one principal and a partner at the system-level, or many choose to bring members of their central academic team with a selection of principals to build alignment and catalyze change.

To participate, organizations must send a minimum of at least one principal, and can build a broader team from there. School roles such as APs or system roles such as Chief Academic Officer, Regional Superintendents or Head of Schools, Director of Student Support find AMA to be relevant and impactful.

The ideal leader and teams for this program:

• Have the full support of their superintendent / executive team to prioritize the work and the flexibility to design and pilot

• Have a strong baseline foundation in academic and school culture systems

• Demonstrate a commitment to inclusion and equity, with a desire and appreciation to do both the adaptive and technical work in mindsets and systems

• Are willing to root their work in data, reflect honestly and vulnerably on what is and is not working, and challenge the status quo to make change

• Consider this a priority in addressing the needs of all students, including those most underserved
