At One Schoolhouse, we’ve long believed that empowering learners is essential to their success. That foundational belief is true at the Association for Academic Leaders, too. 

This summer at the Association for Academic Leaders, we’re presenting 14 distinct courses in 21 separate offerings. (For the full list, see our website here.) We’re also presenting webinars, articles, resources, and much more–an ecosystem of support for Academic Leaders

With so many resources, a PD playlist can offer you a path that’s designed to get you to the learning that matters most. What’s a PD playlist? It’s a collection of Association offerings curated for a specific role, purpose, or topic. 

To get you started, here are three suggested playlists. Please note that our lists should not be interpreted to imply that any particular course is or is not a match for any specific individual or role. We make suggestions, you make decisions as one of my favorite Peloton instructors likes to say.

Whether you select one of our playlists, or build your own, you’re making an intentional choice about the kind of Academic Leader you want to be. We’re here to support you in that growth!
