Leading Personalized and Digital Learning: Change Management and Distributed Leadership
Led by Nancy Mangum, Shayla Rexrode, and Mary Ann Wolf
Leading a transition to personalized and digital learning requires school leaders who are able to set a vision for this change and establish a culture that supports this vision. We will be leading you in discussions on the following topics:
- What are the change management strategies that work or don't work in schools?
- How do you craft a vision and a culture that supports that vision?
- What team dynamics lead to successful educational change?
- What stories do you all bring of successful and unsuccessful implementation, and what can we learn from them?
