Adam Aberman of The Learning Collective is partnering with Dan Pasek of Impact Charters to provide a free 3-hour board retreat.

Why: Our combined 60 years of experience working with schools have taught us that, especially in this competitive market, charter schools have to set themselves apart in the eyes of families, teachers, school leaders and donors.

What: Charter boards, often with the school leader, “vision” what their school should be known for.
Hour One – What do we actually want to be known for?
Hour Two – How far away from that vision are we right now?
Hour Three – What are the most important first steps we should take accordingly?

Who: Dan, based in New York, has served 30-35 charter schools each year since 2004. Dan co-owns Impact Charters and concentrates on strategic planning, renewal, and authorizer relations. Recently, Dan has led ten free 3-hour charter school board retreats in New York and Connecticut. These retreats focus on the desired vision the board wants to pursue – and ways to get there. Adam, based in Los Angeles, has led many board retreats. Adam owns The Learning Collective, which has been working in the charter school sector since 2003 supporting charter schools and authorizers. Dan and Adam are bringing these free 3-hour retreats to California and potentially other states.

Where: In-Person or Zoom

When: This spring to inform your planning for next year.

What Schools Are Saying …

Dan’s concise training created the room to air all of the board members’ opinions towards one clear renewed school vision. Once we arrived there, we gained the traction we needed to perform our governance roles more effectively. – Albany Leadership Charter School for Girls

Dan’s focus on vision reminded us that we’d gone slightly off track on the experience we wanted for our deserving families and the one we were delivering. Once back on track, it made all of our board’s decisions easier to arrive at. – Roosevelt Children’s Academy Charter School
