Smart Sprints

What

Getting Smart has long been in the business of connecting people. From advocacy and advisory, to partnering with outstanding organizations, schools and districts, we truly believe that people are at the center of learning and education. 

Our Smart Sprints are a virtual workshop/cohort hybrid experience that combines synchronous and design and asynchronous learning to identify an opportunity within education and help create next steps to begin to address the opportunity. Think of it as a pre-incubator workshop to help you identify a next best step. 

These experiences are great for EdLeaders, administrators, educators, project managers, program managers — anyone looking to pressure test or hone a nascent idea.

Why

What you’ll get out of this experience

• Increased capacity for thinking about and implementing the chosen topic.
• Being a part of something bigger than yourself.
• A new family of education transformation agents, as well as a broader accountability network.
• A solidified next step for where to implement your learnings. 
• Resources for digging deeper on the Smart Sprint theme.
