Randy Ziegenfuss and Lynn Fuini-Hetten presented at the PASA EdCongress Research Symposium on designing a toolkit for learner-centered leadership. They discussed the importance of moving from a school-centered to learner-centered approach. They identified preliminary themes of how learner-centered leaders promote individual agency, collaboration, culture of learning, and responsiveness to context over prescription. Next steps include identifying additional questions, testing preliminary themes, designing the toolkit, and sharing the work to further the conversation around learner-centered education and leadership.
Some initial questions about leadership and advocacy for teachers developed as part of the GeoCapabilities teacher training course. Teachers are asked to reflect on their role in school and consider whether leadership in their subject discipline is important.
The presentation looks at and reflects on subject leadership and considers recent research in the field. It has been developed as part of the GeoCapabilities teacher training course.
Examining theoretical aspects of teachers as leaders developed as part of the GeoCapabilities teacher training course. The leadership systems and teacher involvement in participative design are considered
Leading organizations with the learner at the center. Does this kind of leadership look different? How do we build our knowledge, skills, and dispositions to lead in this new learner-centered environment? We think leadership in our schools today should look different! To explore this new territory, leaders in the Salisbury Township School District have been engaging Education Reimagined, learner-centered leaders and learners across the country in the Shift Your Paradigm podcast to uncover the characteristics needed to guide learner-centered transformations. Learner-centered leaders identify and navigate barriers to create opportunities for learners to engage in unique personalized, learning experiences. The conversations are revealing the boundaries of what makes or breaks a shift. In this session, we’ll dive into lessons learned from state and national leaders who are co-designing innovative learning environments.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education in today's world, the ability to navigate complex change is crucial for leaders and organizations. Leading such change requires building the buy-in of stakeholders, address roadblocks hindering progress, and fostering a culture of experimentation that embraces calculated risks and encourages learning from failures. This workshop introduces the concept of transformative leadership, introducing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to guide leaders and organizations as they tackle complex challenges where no obvious solution exists.
These slides are from a workshop run at the Aurora Institute Symposium in Palm Springs, October 2023

What does it mean to give learners voice and choice in their learning? What distinguishes personalized learning, competency-based learning, open-walled learning, socially-embedded learning and learner agency? We can look at these elements through two lenses: either the school or the learner. Come join us to explore what it means to innovate your classrooms, school or district through the learner-centered lens.

School-Centered
Learning happens in schools.
Education is done to the learner.
Learners are known by how they compare to their
class averages on standardized tests.
Learners must be compelled to perform.
Focus on having the most effective teaching.
The learner adapts to the standardized system.
All learners follow standard paths at standard paces
and demonstrate mastery in standardized ways.
Effectiveness is achieved through standardization.
Teach to the average learner and
manage exceptions as problems.
Learner-Centered
Learning happens in learners.
Education is done by (and with) the learner.
Learners are known as individuals–each with their
own unique strengths, interests, and goals.
Learners want to learn.
Focus on having the most effective learning.
The system adapt to the unique learner.
Each learner moves on their own path at an
appropriate and adaptable pace.
Effectiveness is achieved through customization.
Every learner is exceptional. The uniqueness of learners
is not a problem but, instead, something to build on.

Learner-centered leaders promote…
• individual agency over system agency
• collaboration over isolation (community)
• culture of learning over culture of compliance
• proactive action over reactive action
• responsiveness to context over following prescription

• iteration over perfection (design thinking)
• learner voice/co-learners over hierarchy
• risk friendly over risk adverse
• scaleable learning over scaleable efficiency
• engagement over compliance
• opportunity over threat
• mindsets over skillsets
• edges over core
• growth over complacency
• confrontation over avoidance/side-stepping
