How can we, in our spheres of influence, help to craft a path that brings individuals back from mistakes, errors, and lapses in judgment into the greater conversation for the great good.","Description":"As we watch public figures (writers, authors, politicians, school leaders) be ushered to the sidelines for mistakes of various amplitude, one has to wonder if there is a path to redemption and the return to public conversation. Can someone fired, removed, or voted out return to public discourse in a way that can be healthy for all. Is there room for redemption in an era that has shown us how to shine bright light on mistakes. Has the court of public opinion created a new form of judgment with no avenue for apologize, repent, and return humbled to be productive again. Are there some things beyond redemption? Is time truly enough of a healing force? This session looks to explore these ideas and questions as well a look to outline a pathway and playbook for those that have been sidelined.","Link":["http:\/\/drrobertdillon.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"There will be three active parts to the conversation. \r\n1.

In this conversation, we\u2019ll discuss a set of critical questions that can lead to a broader understanding of the challenges associated with developing authentic landscapes for learning.  Our goal for the session will be to catalyze thinking by challenging the assumptions and reality of school while uncovering potential solutions that lead to a future-focused school experience grounded by authenticity.","Description":"Many factors contribute to the development of the teaching and learning experience in schools.  Traditional expectations of what school is and how the school serves students are grounded by traditional and expected actions by educators:  defining curriculum, developing instruction, and defining assessment, among other things.  The development of authentic learning opportunities in schools requires thinking beyond what school is and how to develop a broader and more comprehensive palette for learning that redefines the roles and expectations for all participants.  We\u2019ll discuss all of this and develop a snapshot of what could be.","Link":["http:\/\/davidjakesdesigns.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"The conversation will be composed of a series of provocations for discussion.

How did Uber become a leader in transportation industry without owning a single car?  Design Thinking!  In this session, educators will discuss how to cultivate a mindset of \u201cdesign inspired leadership\u201d to transform our schools into \u201ccultures of change\u201d","Description":"\u201cDesign is the rendering of intent\u201d.  According to Gallagher and Thordarson (2018) teachers and school leaders are constantly designing, but only \u201coccasionally stumble upon innovative ideas or solutions.\u201d  To them, \u201cdesign inspired leaders\u201d \u201cact with greater intention and achieve greater impact\u201d.  The shift from traditional leadership to design thinking leadership is predicated by the mindsets in the learning community.  To help catalyze this shift in schools, our session objective is to cultivate a culture of design thinking by engaging in discussions and protocols that model this process.  For instance, we will begin the session with a disruptive thinking protocol intended to shift the focus of school leadership from \u201cproblem solving\u201d to \u201cproblem finding\u201d.  Then, through a collaborative discussion protocol, participants will consider school systems and structures from the student perspective in an effort to become \u201cexperience architects\u201d.  Small group discussions will extend the conversation and will include topics such as harnessing \u201cimagination\u201d to overcome constraints in the design process, educators as \u201cproducers\u201d of learning, and the importance of \u201cstorytelling\u201d in the teaching and stewarding of a design inspired vision of learning.      \r\n\r\n\r\nWorks Cited\r\n-Gallagher, Alyssa, and Kami Thordarson. \"Front Cover.\" Design Thinking for School Leaders: Five Roles and Mindsets That Ignite Positive Change, ASCD, 2018, p. 0. \r\n\r\n-https:\/\/xqsuperschool.org\/","Link":["http:\/\/www.edxednyc.com","http:\/\/www.cambrianed.com","http:\/\/www.hudsonhs.com"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Disruptive Thinking Protocol\r\nRumors (collaborative discussion protocol)\r\nSmall Group Discussions\r\nWhole Group Share Outs","Presenter":["Timothy Comer","Walter Brown","Phil Linder"],"PresenterAffiliation":["New York City Department of Education"],"PresenterEmail":["TComer@schools.nyc.gov","Wbrown@hudsonhs.com","Plinder@hudsonhs.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":140,"ScheduleLocationID":5,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"We are available to present on Sunday if our proposal is accepted.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":9}],"conditions":{"Status":"Accepted","ConferenceID":9,"ScheduleLocationID":5},"total":5,"limit":false,"offset":false}
