SUMMARY:Academy Coach Circle
DESCRIPTION:All Phase 4 & 5 communities have an individual at each of their high schools coordinating and facilitating academy/pathway activities\, including work-based learning experiences for students and teachers\, supporting effective academy teacher teams\, working alongside academy principals\, and more. \nSometimes this individual has peers in other buildings in your district; sometimes they are the only one in their district doing this work. The Academy Coach Circle is designed to provide all academy coaches\, and those in similar roles inside the school district with the space and opportunity to come together\, network\, and learn from one another. It is a space to share solid practices and celebrate successes\, as well as to discuss challenges and crowdsource solutions. The Circle is an example that represents the best of the idea of “the power of the network!”  \nIf this sounds like the work you do inside your school district (regardless of title) and a group that you think would be of value to your role\, reach out to Beth Grzelak (bgrzelak@fordngl.com)\, co-facilitator of the Academy Coach Circle\, to learn more about the group and to get enrolled! \nThe 2025-26 sessions are outlined below. \n\n\n\nThursday\nSeptember 11\, 2025\n12 pm – 1 pm ET\nSpecial Session – New Phase 4 Academy Coaches & new to their role Academy Coaches only\n\n\nThursday\nNovember 6\, 2025\n12 pm – 1 pm ET\nHighlights from Leadership Council\n\n\nThursday\nJanuary 8\, 2026\n12 pm – 1 pm ET\nSetting up or Evolving Your Student Ambassador Program\n\n\nThursday\nMarch 5\, 2026\nNew Times:  \n\nExperienced/OG Academy Coaches 12 pm – 1 pm ET\nNew Academy Coaches 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm ET\n\n\n\n\nThursday\nMay 14\, 2026\n\n\nExperienced/OG Academy Coaches 12 pm – 1 pm ET\nNew Academy Coaches 12:45 pm – 1:45 pm ET

SUMMARY:Academy Principal Circle Meet-Up
DESCRIPTION:Are you an Academy Principal or have a similar role in which you have day-to-day oversight of one or more academies in the school? \nDoes your day-to-day work focus on both academic and non-academic aspects of the student experience and supporting effective academy teams focused on SMART goals and the 3Is (Interdisciplinary\, Interventions\, and Identity)? Do you work closely with the academy team lead\, academy counselor\, and the academy coach? \nIf this sounds like what you do\, then the Academy Principal Circle may be for you!

If you are unsure\, talk with your Ford NGL coach reach out to Beth. \nOur Ford NGL Academy Principal Circle will be meeting during the following dates and times in 2025. \n\nThursday\, February 27th 3:30pm – 4:30pm CT\nThursday\, May 8th\, 3:30pm CT – 4:30pm CT\nThursday\, September 11th\, 3:30pm – 4:30pm CT
