When it came to technology and innovation, I was great at telling others what they should be doing. As such I did what I was trained to do and what I thought was the most logical course of action to get buy-in from my staff. Together we were then able to show efficacy aligned to technology use and innovative ideas.

It is an opportunity to become better at what we do as well as gain knowledge on new pedagogical techniques, learning theories, leadership strategies, technologies, and federal/state mandates. The trainings that many educators are now forced to attend are usually driven by whatever the federal and state governments have mandated.

The art of teaching should matter to every educator, so it blows my mind when I see teachers who do not aggressively pursue their own learning. Technology is radically impacting the way students learn and, as a result, teachers are expected to adapt their teaching to engage a new era of students. I’ve often said that.

I once trained as a photographer. Because I trained in the pre-digital era, we spent a lot of time in the darkroom, fiddling blindly with developer containers and stumbling around fumbling for the light switch.

We can have every educator in the country sign a future ready pledge, but if they have no understanding of what future ready means to them personally, it will be another wasted initiative.
