Collaborative Leadership that Multiplies Learning

Administrators and teacher leaders need to partner and work together in order to multiply learning.  Gone are the days of isolation when teachers and administrators focused only on the business located within the four walls of their office or classroom.  Today’s educational issues are complex and require the attention of a team of educators. This team of educational leaders needs to utilize the intelligence around them to solve the complex issues that currently face education. 

 
This interactive workshop will explore how our team uses professional books such as Mindset, Drive, Grading Smarter Not Harder, Notice and Note, to collaboratively lead professional development that multiplies learning.

How can you foster resilience during these challenging times? Administrators need to focus on creating a positive climate that emphasizes the benefits of failure in order for students to succeed; a climate that will enhance the abilities of their faculty and students and focus on what Carol Dweck (2006) calls a “growth mindset.”

The article below discusses the importance of a growth mindset in education. It highlights how Arlington High School (NY) utilized Carol Dweck's concept of a growth mindset.
