In today’s world, we no longer determine the rate of change. But, as leaders, we do have a choice to make: embrace change and evolve our organizations, or resist and risk leaving ourselves and our students behind. In this conversation, you will hear about the links between change and learning, gain strategies to develop the proactive mindsets and behaviors to manage change, and consider how to communicate objectives to help your team understand their responses and responsibilities.

Ultimately, the goal is to see change as an opportunity rather than a threat. Whether the catalyst is AI and its impact on classrooms and the workforce, the shifting interests of students and families, or disruption of the new educator pipeline, change is challenging. It’s also a chance to demonstrate your leadership qualities and build stronger schools and communities.

• Working Collaboratively — Understand how to build teams inside your organization and foster a culture of active problem-solving.
• Leading by Example — As a school, district, or organization leader, pick up strategies to set the pace and motivate others.
