The Hendy team is proud to announce the talented academic leaders chosen to be a part of the 2022-2023 Chief Academic Officer Cohort:

• Dr. Saskia Brown – Harlem Children’s Zone Promise Academy
• Dr. Megan Frankiewicz – Vista College Prep
• Ben Johnson – Ingenuity Prep
• Jeremy Jones – Eagle College Prep
• Crystal Lane – DREAM
• Nate Lowry – Academies of Math and Science

The CAO Cohort is led by Erica Murphy and Jonathan McIntosh. Erica is a member of the Hendy team and former academic leader for Ascend and Jonathan is the current CAO of Prospect Schools and a member of our 2021-2022 CAO Cohort.

The Cohort is a place for leaders to learn, reflect, grow, and share. And to do so alongside other leaders who understand the unique challenges faced by academic leaders today. Over the course of 9 facilitated sessions, CAOs exchange resources, solve problems, and build relationships.

Our goals are for CAOs to:

• Establish a vision of excellence for the CAO role and its components (e.g., vision setting, team building, instructional management, culture building, data analysis, reflection and action-planning). 
• Establish relationships with CAOs nationally – participants become “thought partners” and confidantes for each other, during and post cohort. 
• Share resources, perspectives, ideas, thoughts, approaches on all things related to the role.
• Receive structured PD on innovative research and ideas.

We look forward to learning alongside these wonderful leader and can’t wait to kick off our first cohort session on September 22nd!
