The structure encourages stasis, and the most vocal advocates for transformation come usually from those on the fringes—the consultants, commentators, and conference keynoters. Think ecosystems, not workshops. The workshop model, aided and abetted by Power Point, is dead. Regardless, there’s a shared mindset.

Be a Scholar Being a scholar helps you as a leader to improve professional practice and puts you in a position to have better conversations with your teachers about their own improvement. This adds a whole new level of credibility to the post-conference. I made an effort to align every point of critical feedback to current research.

Until this point, most of my interactions with educators have been through virtual presentations, workshops, and coaching.
