This document describes a global school that uses experiential learning and travels the world while staying highly connected through technology. It discusses challenges in integrating online and face-to-face learning, building a collaborative professional learning community, and making global connections. Key questions are how to support teacher leadership for connectivity, what role the distant consultant can play in fostering connected learning, and how to connect the traveling school meaningfully with the world. The goal is to determine the best leadership style to support connected and collaborative learning within and beyond the organization.
