1. INSPIRATIONAL AND PRACTICAL

Educators who participate as a team increase the impact of their learning both during the program and in their daily practice. Team members who support each other and work collectively on a shared vision for moving forward are better prepared to implement a plan and support each other in their local context.

Many of our programs are designed especially for teams. Groups of various sizes as well as individuals are welcome to apply. Please consult a specific program’s webpage for more information about who should attend.

Learning as a Team

No matter your role or where you are from, you will connect with peers who face similar problems of practice. Surrounded by this diverse group, you will have space to voice concerns, share insights, and work through solutions. In the process, you will build a professional network that will support you throughout your career.

2. SUPPORTED BY COMMUNITY

The Harvard Experience

We know your time and resources are precious. That’s why our ultimate goal as educators — improving lives — is embedded in every program. We help people from around the world teach and lead more effectively, so they can make a difference for others. Making this investment in yourself is an investment in your students’ future.

4. FOCUSED ON IMPACT

With programs chaired by members of the faculty of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, our professional education is built on the latest thinking in the field and evidence of what works. Learn from scholars whose research has redefined the way we think about learning and development, and from practitioners and policymakers who have been on the front lines of education.

At HGSE, the foremost minds in education are deeply connected to the issues facing the field, actively working to improve lives worldwide.
