- She discusses President Obama's ConnectED initiative and the Future Ready Pledge signed by over 1,900 superintendents.
- The pledge focuses on collaborative leadership, personalized learning, robust infrastructure, and professional learning for educators.
- The Future Ready Leaders program helps superintendents assess their districts' readiness and provides videos and resources to support leadership in key areas.
- Exemplar future ready districts were identified and the program aims to inspire superintendents to accept the future ready challenge and help them progress on their journey.
The document discusses Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach's background and credentials in education. It then outlines her presentation on future ready leadership, including discussing elements of the Future Ready Pledge, a leadership scorecard, collaborative leadership practices, personalized learning, robust infrastructure, and professional learning opportunities. The presentation emphasizes that future ready leaders use a 3-pronged approach and are effective change agents, though change is difficult. It asks if educators are willing to change and accept ambiguity to meet students' needs.
This document discusses strategies for effective change agents in education. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration over individual efforts. Key points include:
- Change agents should be open to changing course, unlearning old ways, and taking risks to drive innovation.
- Individual change is strengthened by connecting with others through sharing ideas, collaborating on solutions, and acting collectively for change.
- Developing communities of practice allows educators to construct knowledge together and move beyond basic practices to a more systemic view of learning.
This document discusses a presentation on shifting learning to focus on student-centered, collaborative, project-based approaches. It notes that the world is changing and education needs to transform from a book-based, linear system focused on individual achievement to a web-based, divergent system focused on community building. Effective learning relies on problem finding rather than just being given problems, and occurs through student collaboration using digital tools both inside and outside the classroom. Project-based learning allows students to investigate real-world problems through extended, hands-on projects while developing 21st century skills like multiliteracy and global collaboration.
This document discusses strategies for transforming schools into learning organizations. It distinguishes between reform, which works within an existing system, and transformation, which alters the underlying culture and structure to enable new innovations. The document advocates for a transformational approach to change in schools. It argues schools should shift their focus from teaching to co-learning, empowering students as knowledge producers. Connected learning through online networks and tools is presented as a way to support this transformation by connecting students to global knowledge and communities of learners.
Here are some examples of how to apply TPACK:

Activity: Students create digital images using ThingLink to represent scientific concepts and share their creations to teach their classmates.
This document outlines Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach's keynote presentation on connected learning and leading schools in the 21st century. Some of the main points discussed include: the changing digital landscape and trends like mobility, connectivity, and online collaboration; the need for schools to transform and not just reform; developing connected learning communities among educators; and leveraging collective intelligence through professional learning networks, communities of practice, and tribes. The presentation emphasizes that connected learning has the potential to enable deeper and more impactful learning when educators collaborate online and offline.
This document outlines Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach's presentation on connected learning and leading in the 21st century. She discusses the need for schools to transform their culture from a traditional model to one focused on connected learning using tools and networks. She emphasizes developing communities of practice and personal learning networks to encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing among educators. The presentation provides strategies for teachers to become agents of change in leveraging connected learning.
This document outlines Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach's presentation on becoming a connected educator and agent of change. It discusses developing a growth mindset and embracing do-it-yourself learning through online networks. It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration, developing a learning tribe, and transforming school culture from one focused on compliance to one centered around empowering learners. The overall message is that educators must lead the way in changing schools to prepare students for a world where connected learning is the norm.
This document discusses connected learning and professional development for educators in the digital age. It describes connected learning communities which include local professional learning communities, global personal learning networks, and bounded communities of practice. These connected learning communities allow educators to collaborate both face-to-face and online to support learning and innovation. The document emphasizes that a connected approach to learning and professional development is needed as the world and education system become more digital and networked.
Leveraging tribe as a means for self-actualization can occur through connecting with others in personal learning networks (PLNs) and communities of practice (CoPs). When learners connect locally in professional learning communities (PLCs) and globally through their PLNs and CoPs, it allows for social and collaborative learning that enhances cognitive development. Connecting in online spaces amplifies the sharing of knowledge and ideas in a way that promotes diversity of thought and innovation. Forming connections through PLNs is the beginning of developing one's tribe, which provides opportunities for social and emotional fulfillment through collaboration, collective efficacy and developing a shared identity.
This document discusses several topics related to connected learning and 21st century skills. It mentions 1) Alberta Inspired Learning work, 2) PLP's Connected Learner Experience, 3) PLP Lite and e-Courses, 4) Voices from the Learning Revolution, 5) PLPress, and 6) Connected Educator Month. It also discusses transformation versus reform in schools, connected learning approaches, the NCTE definition of 21st century literacy, and new directions in assessment that focus on feedback, relationships, and challenging goals.
This document discusses strategies for understanding students' needs, teachers' needs, and developing oneself as a learner. It provides tips for getting to know students personally, building relationships, differentiating instruction, using technology purposefully, and making learning authentic. For teachers, it recommends relevant professional learning, collaboration, developing leadership, and support for new practices. It also emphasizes the importance of establishing a vision for 21st century learning, continually learning, and involving all stakeholders including IT staff. The overarching themes are developing a culture of sharing knowledge and ensuring deep learning for both students and teachers.
This document discusses the TPACK framework for integrating technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge. It explains that TPACK considers how understanding the relationship between these three elements can help teachers develop effective technology-integrated lessons. The document provides examples of the "7 pieces of the TPACK pie" and guidelines for applying TPACK in lesson planning, including identifying research-based instructional strategies, selecting appropriate technologies, and creating learning activities. Teachers are encouraged to reflect on how technology can represent content in new ways and maximize existing technologies to teach and assess learning.
This document discusses connected learning and digital literacy. It defines connected learning as learning that occurs through connections with other learners based on conversation and interaction. Connected learning shifts the focus of literacy from individual expression to community involvement. The document also discusses new literacies that have emerged in the digital age, including skills like play, performance, negotiation, and collective intelligence. It emphasizes the importance of personal learning networks and connected learning communities for facilitating connected learning. Overall, the document advocates for embracing connected, collaborative approaches to learning that leverage digital tools and networks.

13. Time Travel
Lewis Perelman, author of School's Out (1992). Perelman argues that
schools are out of sync with technological change:
...the technological gap between the school environment and the "real
world" is growing so wide, so fast that the classroom experience is on
the way to becoming not merely unproductive but increasingly
irrelevant to normal human existence (p.215).
14. What's different?
We now have an easy connection between an
individual's passion to learn and the resources
to learn it.
15. Right now, schools are:
Time and place. Filtered. Teacher-directed.
Predictable. Standardized. Push oriented.
Content-based. Group assessed. Linear.
Closed. Sept-June. Local.
16. Learning will be (already is):
Mobile. Networked. Global. Collaborative. Self-
directed. Inquiry based. On demand.
Transparent. Lifelong. Personalized. Pull.

jurors…. Jurors may be called on to decide complex
matters that require the verbal, reasoning, math,
science, and socialization skills that should be
imparted in public schools. Jurors today must
determine questions of fact concerning DNA
evidence, statistical analyses, and convoluted
financial fraud, to name only three topics.‖

50. In Phillip Schlechty's, Leading for Learning: How
to Transform Schools into Learning
Organizations he makes a case
for transformation of schools.
Reform- installing innovations that will work
within the context of the existing culture and
structure of schools. It usually means changing
procedures, processes, and technologies with
the intent of improving performance of existing
operation systems.
51. Transformation- is intended to make it possible to do
things that have never been done by the organization
undergoing the transformation.
Different than
It involves repositioning and
reorienting action by putting
an organization into a new
business or adopting radically
different means of doing the
work traditionally done.
Transformation includes altering the beliefs, values,
meanings- the culture- in which programs are embedded, as
well as changing the current system of rules, roles, and
relationship- social structure-so that the innovations needed
will be supported.
52. So as you develop your vision for
learning in the 21st Century how do you
see it- should you be a reformer or
a transformer and why?
Make a case for using
one or the other as a
change strategy.
55. What do we need to unlearn?
Example:
* I need to unlearn that classrooms are physical spaces.
* I need to unlearn that learning is an event with a start and stop time to a lesson.
The Empire Strikes Back:
LUKE: Master, moving stones around is one thing. This is totally
different.
YODA: No! No different! Only different in your mind.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
56. What will be our legacy…
• Bertelsmann Foundation Report: The Impact of Media and Technology in
Schools
– 2 Groups
– Content Area: Civil War
– One Group taught using Sage on the Stage methodology
– One Group taught using innovative applications of technology and
project-based instructional models
• End of the Study, both groups given identical teacher-constructed tests of
their knowledge of the Civil War.
Question: Which group did better?
57. Answer…
No significant test
differences were found
58. However… One Year Later
– Students in the traditional group could recall almost nothing about
the historical content
– Students in the traditional group defined history as: ―the record
of the facts of the past‖
– Students in the digital group “displayed elaborate concepts and
ideas that they had extended to other areas of history”
– Students in the digital group defined history as:
―a process of interpreting the past from different perspectives‖
59. Change is inevitable:
Growth is Optional
Change produces
tension- out of our
comfort zone.
“Creative tension-
the force that
comes into play at
the moment we
acknowledge our
vision is at odds
with the current
reality.” Senge
60. Real Question is this:
Are we willing to change- to risk change- to meet
the needs of the precious folks we serve?
Can you accept that Change (with a ―big‖ C) is
sometimes a messy process and that learning new
things together is going to require some tolerance
for ambiguity.
