Making our work visible to the education community while participating in dialog about connections to everyday teaching, learning and leadership dilemmas is essential to our mission of learning innovation to meet the needs of a future workforce.

Developing Leaders for Future Ready Schools

Louise Santiago, Ph.D. and Pamela Redmond, Ed.D.

Tomorrow's workforce demands new models for school. How do we prepare and support leaders to be ready to drive the innovation? New models for principal and administrator preparation are essential. What might the training include? What skill sets should be the focus? How do we integrate innovative leadership into a closed system (i.e. school districts)? We proposed a campfire to use crowdsourcing to gather wisdom on these topics and those that evolve from the discussion.
Learning Objectives

1. Identify characteristics of innovative school leaders
2. Envision alternative models for innovative leadership preparation
3. Strategize methods for infusing new models for school leadership into existing systems

The Learning Innovation Lab:  Tinkering with the Schema of
Teacher Professional Development in Support of Redefining School

Pamela Redmond, Ed.D.
Touro University California

This case describes one University’s approach to align the development of a Master’s degree program focused on re-envisioning the landscape of school with several local school districts’ long-range strategic plan to “transform lives by instilling 21st century skills and lifelong learning in every student.” (Napa Valley Unified School District, 2011)
