Connecting the Dots

1. Dive into Industry Trends, Go beyond the Institution of Education

​

Given the rapid accelerations of these technological changes, leaders in education must also consider the evolving role of humans in the workplace, and work to provide students with skill sets that help them to thrive.  There are many interesting opportunities to explore these trends with partner with industry professionals to industry what specific skills and labor market trends are most relevant to inform curriculum and instruction.

2. Develop Literacies with Longevity: Technological, Data, Human

​

As leaders we must develop the capacities of all educators to prepare students to be able to further build the skills humans can do best and leverage machine technology for what it does best.  Through my work with teachers and administrators, I have found that having a clear definition of maker learning and equitable access to maker resources, tools and technologies we are able to help all students to develop technological, data and human- centered literacies.

3. Create a Culture to Support Action

​

 Providing our educators with a clear vision and purpose to what maker learning looks like in our district and by modeling the type of student experiences that take place in our makerspaces and design studios we have been able to respond to the rapid rate of technological change that is taking place in the world.
