First Session: Learning to Change
Tony O’Driscoll is telling us the story of the “Lost Colony” in North Carolina through the eyes of a 7-year-old. The only part of the colony she recognized was the CLASSROOM because it hasn’t changed!
4 QUESTIONS we'll answer today
1. What? (What is the world we’re living in now and how is our educational system serving students who are growing up in it?)
2. So what? Why do we need to change and why is that change important?
3. Where to? (Where do I want to take my organization?)
4. What now? (What steps can we take to implement this plan?)
"Tempo is a weapon"
We’re gonna keep up a fast pace today, thanks to Tony O’Driscoll @wadatripp
