Description

DisrtuptionEDU summits aren't your everyday PD... it's big ideas, immediate take-aways, building connections that inspire,... and FUN! What: This is the un-conference and the days are structured around meaningful engagement. Participants will engage in conversation, brainstorming sessions, and will be on the go! Our mission is to inspire disruption and create moments that shift the paradigm for how we see and do school. We'd love to see you both days, but the summit is organized so you can attend a single day as well. Day 1: Culture as the Catalyst: Accelerating Change and Innovation Day 2: Shifting the Needle: Why, What-If, and Do We Need to That? The WHY matters: Why does disruptive leadership matter?  It’s about unlocking potential and rethinking the foundations of leading and learning.  As school leaders, the most powerful tool we have is the culture we create. School culture is the elasticity that allows a school to grow and stretch.  Creating a disruptive culture centers around questions that ask, “why,” “what if” and “do we need to do that.” Simply, disruption aims to challenge a status quo culture that often protects and perpetuates school as usual. Summit Takeaways: A framework to implement disruptive leadership in your school/district Practical examples and review of model schools A network and resources to further learning post-conference Summit Learning Objectives: Rethinking the role of school leader as lead learner Model and explain "disruptive leadership" Understand the attributes that create a  disruptive moments for your staff Introduce a framework to create and sustain a culture of positive disruption Summit Capacity is 40 participants.  This summit is designed to be interactive and meaningful.  We believe that keeping a capped size to the event ensures all participants can connect, network, and create momentum post-summit.   Fee includes materials, continental breakfast, and lunch.
