Midwest Forum · Portage School of Leaders
Portage is hosting the first of our three Regional Forums this year, and it's a good place to start.
It's a tuition-free public charter in South Bend that built its Portrait of a Leader around 29 durable skills, with career pathways where students earn industry certifications before they graduate. If you're public or charter and you've been told this model only works at well-funded independent schools, come see otherwise.
The morning belongs to Portage. You'll sit in on classes and talk with their students, with nobody steering the conversation. The afternoon belongs to you: members run the breakouts, so bring the problem you're stuck on and find the person who has already solved it.
South Bend is 2.5 hours from Aurora Institute's FullScale in Indianapolis on October 8-10, so you can do both in one trip.
75 people, 9:00am to 3:30pm.
Member schools get two free tickets, with the code in your invitation email. Everyone else pays $50, so bring a school that belongs in the Consortium.
Questions about the program go to Jason Cummings, cummings@mastery.org.
See you in South Bend,
Matt
