Disruptive Innovations:
Looking Back to Lead Forward
In an era of constant change, innovation in education doesn’t always mean starting over. This year’s tools will focus on project and people management during disruption. Educators and leaders will examine which foundational practices are worth reclaiming to strengthen teaching, leadership and systems, and walk away with tools to guide success.
