Innovative Leadership
Using a startup mindset in K-12

Supporting digital learning and innovation in schools is challenging. Join the presenter, a veteran building principal who recently moved into a district technology leadership role, to identify elements critical to putting innovative leadership into action.

An innovative leader should try to create new ideas, but it is more important that they develop a culture of innovation. Explore methods to empower your teachers with a shared vision and a safe and supportive environment of risk-taking, trust, and swift implementation. Innovative leaders not only "think" differently, but they "act" differently. Now is the time to act and put these innovative characteristics into action. This session will empower YOU to build a culture of innovation.

Explore innovative strategies to enhance and become more efficient with launching ideas, risk-taking, and creating a culture of innovation.

Reimagining Mentorship in Education

What does it mean to be a “mentor”? Mr. Webster may define it as “an experienced and trusted adviser,” are you convinced his definition has been actualized in the field of education? Many mentors are, by definition, “experienced,” it does not necessarily mean they are experienced in the realm of mentoring. Frequently mentors have been experienced teachers or administrators but have never received the training and insight necessary to support emerging educators or leaders. Similarly, “trusted advisors” don’t appear out of thin air when they are placed on the mentor list. We will focus on:

Having a menu of strategies to ensure mentors are trained and have the essential skills to support another educator.
Ways to develop mentoring programs designed to assist teachers in becoming strong mentors and to assist new teachers or school/district leaders in getting the most out of their mentoring relationship.
Training mentors to be impactful
Evaluation of the mentor program
Ideas to enfuse peer mentoring
Process for mentoring asiring leaders

Mentoring is not the process of checking a box; it is the process of developing colleagues or leaders who eventually work alongside us.
