We couldn't agree more! "Build up teachers who are innovating and support them up as an example." #COSN18 We have to find ways to support our superstars, not use them and abuse them (or let them take heat for implementing a vision that was set out for them to achieve)
To lead real change, you need distributive leadership that draws on the strengths of the entire organization. Build up teachers who are innovating and support them up as an example. #CoSN18

When you tie change to the school mission, the “why” of the change becomes more clear to the community @timmaki lays down some wisdom at #CoSN18 Don’t assume that because it’s clear to us (tech leaders) that others see the link. Illuminate for them!
