Are you an educator and a leader?

Being an educator certainly may be one of the most rewarding careers for individuals who are committed to developing the minds and futures of students who will go on to make a difference in our communities and our world.

Many educators are driven to continually grow in their own leadership capacities and even to provide leadership among their peers for the enhancement of the larger educational community.

Perhaps you are a professional educator, in any capacity, who finds yourself leading others around you, or maybe you desore to reach greater leadership capabilities and would like some guidance or encouragement. If you are an educator with leadership responsibilities or aspirations, the RiA Community may be right for you!

What is the purpose?

Professional development for educators is a necessary career-long endeavor. Finding a coach or appropriate opportunities for personal and professional advancement can be a challenge.

Many educators already have the necessary degrees to fulfill their roles. Yet the need to stay relevant on education praxis, pedagogy and current trends is imperative!

Many schools have solid professional development programs, and there are numerous seminars and events to attend regionally throughout the year. At RiA we provide a comprehensive program which combines coaching, leadership training, a discussion forum and regional events all aimed specifically for leaders in the education community, whether they are local or worldwide.

Educator in your own country?

If you are a local educator in North America or Asia, Europe or Africa, Australia or the Middle East or South America, your role as a leader in your own community is crucial.

Perhaps you are an educator or education administrator in the USA. We have cohorts available to you right now. We also have cohorts forming in Asia and elsewhere around the world.

International school educator?

Simply put, an international educator is anyone working as an education professional in a cross-cultural context. Typically this person is an expatriate ("expat") or perhaps local educator in an international school.

Teachers and other education professionals have worked internationally for generations in order to provide excellent educational options for students from expat and local families.

Whether Local or International, online cohorts and coaching is available to all members no matter your location. In-person groups are formed wherever there are enough members in a specific city or region.

What is the RiA Community?

It is dynamic cohort community consisting of education professionals selected from all levels of learning and experience representing various educational institutions in their local or international settings.

These cohorts are in turn part of a broader learning community consisting of other cohorts in the same region and globally, a corporate structure, coaches, advisors and education professionals, resulting in a comprehensive support network.

A Leadership Learning Community

At Rowland Institute for Advancement we believe that leadership development for professional educators can best be accomplished by building a learning community of leaders from educational institutions regionally and around the world.

The RiA Community is built by its members gathered together — online and in-person — thus providing comprehensive leadership development through exceptional coaching, high quality cohorts, online forum discussions and regional summits.
