Note: This is a Crossover Session that is featured at the National Summit on Improvement in Education. Attendees from both conferences can attend this session, so there will be a mix of participants from Deeper Learning and from Summit. Scaling deeper learning is a complex challenge, not a complicated one, demanding a fundamental shift in leadership mindset. This 90-minute workshop explores why the continuous improvement mindset, often viewed as better suited for complicated problems, requires a key leadership shift to be effective in this complex domain. Participants will workshop 2-3 common deeper learning challenges (e.g., student agency, quality feedback) and use a structured routine to frame them as improvable problems. Attendees leave with tools, resources, and a shift in mindset to use in their systems.
