iCTLT 2016 - Spotlight Greg Whitby

Taking sensible risk
Changing school is not an intellectual challenge.
In school we have unique individuals.

“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there "is" such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and postive action.” - Mathin Lurther King, Jr

What is the new role of a teacher?
Old Teacher DNA
The student is the curriculum, diversity is the norm
From improvement to revolution to transformation

Ken Robinson - create climate of possibility
1. Great leaders create the art of the possible
2. Great leaders
Through which create a climate of change

Being a leader isn't  an identity but rather a set of actions... It's not something you are but something you do. It's not being a promising custodian. - Rothman

Failing forward - failure is a core to learning

The new drivers in education is quality, equity, innovation and resource base
The new mindsets are diversity is the norm, student-led learning, feedback, collaboration eats competition, change starts from within, teachers are still relevant
The new teacher DNA as analyst, collaborator, researcher, designer and learner

Instructional Core by Richard Elmore

The heart of Improving Each Child's Learning are personalized experiences, dynamic learning frameworks, collaborative learning experiences
