Learning Is Non Linear

I think, for the virtually part, everyone strives for success.  We desire to survive successful inwards our professional person also equally our personal lives.  I strived to survive the best possible main for my students, staff, as well as community.  Whether I was successful is a affair of perspective. My evaluations seemed to back upwards the fact that I powerfulness bring been.  I was far from perfect, but ever strived for constant improvement. When I reverberate upon what was accomplished during my fourth dimension leading New Milford High School I mean value many observers would consider my leadership a success based on what nosotros all accomplished together.  Our digital transformation, backed past times evidence of improved learner outcomes, has been good documented.  In the eyes of many this is success. 

As I bring transitioned into my novel work over the past times ii years equally a Senior Fellow for the International Center for Leadership inwards Education, I give-up the ghost along to ready the bar high for myself. Again, whether I am successful is opened upwards for debate. Some observers powerfulness meet the publishing of books equally an indicator of success. Others could equate keynotes inwards the same manner.  No affair what someone’s thought of success is, I tin rate y'all ane thing for sure enough – it is non a linear process. No ane goes from yell for Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 to B past times next a predetermined path or script. The enquiry as well as then becomes why does school, for the virtually part, focus on a linear transition that manifests itself inwards the shape of curriculum? This is but ane event that flies inwards the aspect upwards of unleashing the talents of our students piece teaching them what success actually is. 


disruptive innovation.  We must lend a critical oculus to our pedagogy, peculiarly the agency nosotros assess as well as furnish feedback to students. It is fourth dimension for us to travel harder to upend the condition quo past times redefining success inwards learning. Are y'all alongside me?

"The greatest leader is non necessarily the 1 who does the greatest things. He is the 1 that gets the people to practise the greatest things."  - Ronald Reagan Lately I cause got truly been focused on what truthful leadership truly is. Many times when I come upward across the give-and-take leader I consider the give-and-take follower attached. In my opinion, leadership is non near attracting others to follow. To me, at least, this conveys a feel of power, authority, in addition to command that mightiness serve good inwards the curt term past times getting others to autumn into line through conformity, but it doesn't create the atmospheric condition necessary for sustaining change.  I believe the Definition in addition to resulting perception of the term leader needs a makeover.  Great leaders don't enjoin people what to do, but instead accept them to where they demand to be. There is no agenda to create a harem of followers or disciples.  True leaders know th...

A Needed Revolution

I routinely write as well as speak virtually the changes leaders demand to address inwards social club to do schools that move for kids.  The most of import project of a schoolhouse leader is to take the barriers that teachers encounter as well as then that they tin live the catalysts for change.  After all, it is our teachers that move with, as well as are the most connected to students, on a day-to-day basis.  This places them inwards the most of import purpose to usher inwards as well as sustain meaningful alter inwards the classroom that volition ultimately cast schoolhouse civilization for the better.  With or without leadership support, teachers demand to live opened upwards as well as willing to alter equally schools, for the most part, overstep on to ready students for a the world that no longer exists.
