Department of Defense Education Activity (DODEA)

The annual DoWEA Summer Leadership Summit convenes regional directors for student excellence, superintendents, chiefs of staff, headquarters officials, principals, assistant principals, school leaders, Instructional Systems Specialists, and teacher leaders. It focuses on fostering collaboration, aligning educational practices, and equipping administrators with tools to implement evidence-based teaching methods. The summit aims to enhance student success, build resilience skills like financial literacy and internships, and prepare students for stronger academic paths and future careers across DoWEA's global schools serving military families. Attendees engage in professional development, share leadership actions, and discuss best practices to drive continuous improvement at the school level, aligned with regional, district, and DoWEA initiatives.
