Laying the Foundation for Innovation in Education

Description: The best way to deal with change is to initiate the change we want to see in our schools and classrooms. As we ask our staff to create innovative learning opportunities for all students, what are the core elements that we need to create and sustain to support teachers in their approach, and why does it matter? How do we bring out the voices of our learners to truly personalize education in a way that helps them find a pathway to success that is meaningful to them?  In this personalized and conversational session, George will follow up the keynote and will model and share strategies and ideas on ways that we can truly innovate inside the box and create practices that don’t add to the already full plates of teachers, but help us think differently about how we utilize our time in schools.  We cannot lead and create the innovative schools of today and tomorrow by focusing on and recreating the leadership and learning of yesterday.
