HMH's Center for Model Schools Launches Advisory Board and Announces Esteemed Senior FellowsEducation experts and leaders, including former U.S. DOE Assistant Secretary and superintendents from across the country, will aid in transforming districts nationwide BOSTON, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Learning technology company HMH today announced that its leadership consulting organization, the Center for Model Schools, has launched its first advisory board and confirmed its latest cohort of distinguished senior fellows comprised of industry leaders, practitioners and trailblazers in K-12 education. Across both groups, members will play pivotal roles in advancing the Center's mission to empower educational leaders and foster meaningful change in school districts nationwide. "The Center for Model Schools is a place where districts can deepen the skills needed to transform insight into action and create environments where all learners succeed," said Dr. Joshua P. Starr, Managing Partner of the Center for Model Schools. "To do this incredible work, we must tap into the wealth of knowledge from outstanding leaders in the field as we develop new approaches to supporting educators. The Center is privileged to be surrounded by the talented individuals that make up our advisory board and senior fellows and we are excited to work together to inspire change in the education community." The newly established advisory board will provide critical insight and feedback on the Center's work and amplify its reach. The varied K-12 educational experiences and perspectives of members – including current and former superintendents, school system leaders, policy leaders, professors of practice and research, charter school leaders and non-profit leaders – will help ensure the Center's services and strategies reflect the field of education today. In addition, advisory board members will develop content for the Center and participate in the Transformational Leadership Network, which connects leaders faced with similar challenges. The new cohort of senior fellows will engage in the Center's work as experts and thought leaders, providing invaluable counsel on leadership development and contribute to the growth of education leaders and the Center as a whole. They will deliver engaging keynote speeches, extend the Center's outreach in the education community, and offer guidance and support in strategic planning, leadership coaching, organizational culture, equity and policy development, aligning their expertise with the Center's mission.
