4. Cluster Together
Introduce yourselves if you do not know
each other…
Then talk about what you know and
believe to be important about effective
leadership.
Does that change when we put future
ready in front of it? How so? Why not?

5. What keeps me up at night…
It all began with President Obama’s
announcement of his ConnectED initiative.
Then he invited 100 superintendents
to the Whitehouse to sign the
Future Ready Pledge.

6. Let’s read the pledge and then discuss
the various elements…
What are the implications for your
district/school?

Do it Yourself PD
A revolution in technology has
transformed the way we can

16. Future Ready Leaders Use a
3-Pronged Approach

17. Change is hard

18. Future Ready Leaders are more
effective change agents

19. 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.
