California Cohort Application

Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and California-based Thrive have launched a new partnership to help California educators pilot, design and implement teams in their schools. 

California schools that want to transform their staffing models can receive direct assistance, coaching and professional learning as part of a cohort of schools in California leading the charge to redesign education through team based models thanks to generous funding from various foundations.

What does this look like?

Phase 1 - Exploration and System Readiness:
Geared towards system and school leaders or your steering committee

System and school leaders from participating schools will learn about Next Education Workforce models and determine if they make sense in your local context. Between the sessions, Thrive will provide coaching to help system and school leaders navigate the process and build buy-in for the change. 

Phase 2  - Design Workshops and Preparing to Launch:
Geared towards school-level leaders

School-level leaders will join virtual sessions to plan the launch of their educator teams. Thrive will provide coaching to help school leaders in their model design including drafting a master schedule, planning for shared rosters and data practices and creating a communication plan. 

Phase 3 - Team Planning and Implementation: 
Geared towards teaching teams

New educator teams will attend an ASU Summer Institute designed to prepare them to work together in the fall. Thrive will continue to provide support to leaders and educators through a year long implementation phase.


Please fill out this application to be considered for the Thrive and Arizona State University’s Next Education Workforce California cohort.
