APRIL 20TH | Empowering Educators
The litmus test for all leadership is whether it mobilizes people's commitment to putting their energy into actions designed to improve things. It is individual commitment, but above all it is collective mobilization.
Essential Questions:
Are professional growth programs/opportunities available to prepare teachers and administrators to lead 21st century learning environments?
From the Alamance/Burlington Technology Action Plan, Strategic Priority 5: 21st Century Leadership for All Schools and Districts.

Moving Forward
After each workshop you will be asked to go back to your Instructional Leadership Team and work on an element of your Digital Leadership Matrix, a document created for you to collect and reflect on the topics we will be covering. Consider loading this document into Google Docs for collaborative document sharing. You should add to your existing matrix, or download a new one here. This will be a helpful reference for our last session together in two weeks.
