Network leaders are:

• collaborative
• connected
• future-oriented
• driven by the success of the broader educational community
• committed to improving student learning outcomes.

Curriculum network leaders may be middle leaders in their school or aspiring leaders. Involvement in a curriculum network helps aspiring leaders demonstrate readiness for leadership roles.

Network leaders create the culture and structures to support high-impact professional learning by:

• creating an effective collaborative environment
• clearly communicating structures for meetings and governance
• fostering leadership capacity in others
• strengthening connections and impact between and across schools.
