Alabama Milken Visionary Partnerships

The goal of Alabama Milken Visionary Partnerships (MVPs) is to build a group of visionary leaders (ELEVATE) who will revitalize and strengthen education in Alabama (MOTIVATE) by recognizing and growing their expertise (CELEBRATE).

Being Alabama, we have a fun football theme. The group is composed of mentors that are Alabama Milken Educators who act in the capacity of a Coach and select All-Star educators (MVPs) to mentor. Together, the Coaches and MVPs collaborate on projects, work with experts in the field and learn together to support students more effectively.

Learning happens via three one-hour virtual sessions and one high-energy, in-person conference.

Experts in the field, including Milken Educators from across the country, play a vital role in enriching our educational “playbook.” Other components include local “team huddles” between the Coach and MVPs in our different locations and an optional book study. Over the past three years, we have grown from a team of 13 to 32. With each new member, we hope to expand our team and our impact on education in Alabama.
