Suzanne Pieper Teaching & Learning Series

Grow and connect with a community of educators and learners who "get it."

Attend the new Suzanne Pieper Teaching and Learning Series, which are evening events throughout the academic year that are held at Alverno College in person, featuring the voices of experienced school leaders and researchers. These sessions support professional learning and focus on the theme "Nurturing Thriving Schools & Communities.”

This session equips participants to understand and strengthen leadership pipelines across classrooms, schools, and networks. We open with a Wisconsin data snapshot to situate the conversation in current realities—retention, leadership churn, compensation, and diversity—then move into a moderated panel featuring one leader advancing the teaching pipeline and another focused on school leadership. Using City Year’s KNOW–BE–DO learning arc, participants translate insights into practical commitments that build capacity in their context. We close with actionable next steps and resources participants can carry back to their teams.
