Leadership Think Tanks Explore Issues in Education

The Graduate Institute for Education at Merrimack College is offering Leadership Think Tanks, which will explore best practices and key issues in a variety of education-related fields. 

Leadership Think Tanks are professional learning communities focused on educational innovation and problem solving. They bring together individuals within and across districts in similar positions to read thoughtfully, hear expert speakers, share best practices, and develop a collegial and collaborative working space within which to explore and delve into emerging trends, critical issues, and key developments.
