Announcing: PLP Boot Camp for Leaders

By


Sheryl and I are excited to announce the inaugural Powerful Learning Practice Visioning Boot Camp for Educational Leaders to be held at the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia this summer. You can get all of the details here, but the bottom line is we’ve  put together a three-day event for a limited number (25) of participants that we think will help school principals and superintendents get a deep understanding of how the world is shifting, identify and articulate the challenges that we face, begin some serious conversations about long term change in personal and classroom practice, and create a foundation for long range planning.

We’re really pleased that Chris Lehmann will be our host for the three days and that he will be among a group of forward thinking leaders who will share their experiences and expertise with us. We hope you (or your school leader) will join us!

    Your elisit seminars ($1,400 for 3 days) disguised as an “educational vision” is quite disheartening…

    Will.. seriously…stop marketing this supposed “shift” as the future of education….the future of private and wealthy public suburban school districts (mainly white) is a much more accurate dipiction of your vision…just another EMO marketing themselves as visionaries in order to reap the benefits of lecture fees and professinal development seminars…..sad….

      Moe,

      I don’t pretend to know what the future of education looks like. I do know, however, from my personal experience, that learning is changing, and that whatever form education takes, administrators need to at least understand how their kids are connecting and what the potential implications are for classrooms.

      And, fwiw, your criticism doesn’t bother me as much as your anonymity. Why no real contact info? What’s the fear?

      I am confused?

      “learning is changing”…within what contextual framework do you situate “learning” and how or should I say who defines the “change” you constantly refer to? I commend your commitment to “change” but feel your efforts are intrinsically motivated. The underlying flaw within your philosophical “vision” is assuming that all students have an equal claim to all of society’s resources, you may very well believe this, but I suspect that your intentions do not align with utilitarian tenants. I am asking that you call a spade a spade..for I believe the “technology” you speak of is grounded in profit and focuses on elite facets of American society.
