STEM District Leader Networks

The District Leader Networks are professional networks and communities of learners that include PreK–12 district and school content leaders in MA. Members of the network engage in collaborative discussions relevant to their role as educators and leaders within their districts. There are opportunities to expand professional networks, share resources and strategies around equitable implementation of the MA curriculum frameworks using high-quality instructional materials, and provide input on DESE initiatives.

During the 2023-24 school year, there will be a mix of in-person and virtual meetings that include professional development, informal connection, and mentoring for leaders new in their role.
