Hi Everyone,
We’re thrilled to announce that our next meeting will take place at the Curiosity Lab — an innovation hub located at 147 Technology Parkway, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 — on November 10. This gathering will be all about helping schools plan for the future through creativity, collaboration, and strategic foresight.
We are getting a slightly later start this year, but we're excited to reconnect and continue the great conversations that define our AATE community. We will also be in touch soon with details about a holiday social before the end of the year.
Keynote Spotlight: Mike Cobb
We are honored to welcome Mike Cobb as our keynote speaker. Mike serves as the Senior Innovation and Organizational Excellence Strategist at Mission & Data and brings over three decades of leadership experience as a teacher, division head, and head of school.
His leadership journey has spanned the globe—from NEOM Community Schools in Saudi Arabia to All Saints Episcopal School and The Oakridge School in Texas. Mike also serves as Futurist-in-Residence at The Landmark School in Massachusetts and co-founder of the Sandbox, where he fosters visionary dialogue in education. His work reflects a deep commitment to transformative learning, strategic visioning, and building future-ready schools.
Afternoon Session: Forecasting the Future
After lunch, we’ll dive into “Forecasting the Future: Designing Schools for What’s Next.”
In this hands-on session, you’ll engage in three immersive challenge scenarios that explore how schools can leverage innovation, AI, and data analysis to tackle pressing issues such as:
- Rising resource strain
- Increasing system complexity
- Change fatigue
Together, we’ll explore bold ideas, test strategies, and envision solutions that move schools forward in meaningful, sustainable ways.

This promises to be a powerful day of connection and creativity in a truly inspiring setting.
