As our semester has come to a close, we are proud to say we finished strong with the Aspire to Lead ForUM 2026 hosting over 60 leaders from across the state!

We were delighted to host and provide a space for school leaders to grow, collaborate, and sharpen their practice in instructional leadership, leader and teacher wellness, and effective communication strategies for today’s educational leaders.

Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to meaningful conversations that continue to move leadership forward. We are grateful for our Department of Leadership Ambassadors, Dr. Joris Ray and Dr. Rebecca Scott for leading our panel. We are also appreciative of Drs. Melita Thomas, Sharonda Beard, Metro Nashville Public Schools, and Dr. Terry Ross New Teacher University for bringing relevant conversations to our leaders. TASL credit emails will go out soon!

We are already looking ahead to next year’s Aspire to Lead ForUM and will soon begin seeking speakers and presenters who are passionate about sharing best practices and innovative leadership strategies. We look forward to continuing this important work together!
