In this workshop, examine challenges faced in implementing school change and learn how to get around, past, over, or through them. Focus on change in the following three areas: flexible scheduling to accommodate more engaging learning experiences, prioritizing depth over breadth; interdisciplinary and project-based curriculum that is relevant to students and focuses on real-world issues; and authentic assessment methods that emphasize mastery over memorization and growth over grades. Participants will leave with a multi-year “road map” for school change.

This two-day institute, organized by NAIS in partnership with the Institute for Global Learning (formerly known as the Global Education Benchmark Group or GEBG), focuses on how schools can utilize intercultural dialogue to engage your community and further your strategic goals, especially around contested issues or at times of division.

You'll get dedicated time, resources, and structured protocols to help you make real progress on your professional goals. Hear from inspiring facilitators in a vibrant, collaborative atmosphere filled with energy, fresh ideas, and meaningful discussions.

This workshop is designed for school leaders who have attended From Vision to Reality 1.0 or who feel they already have a clear vision for change and are ready to begin working on detailed action plans.

Through guided planning sessions, peer collaboration, and expert coaching, school leaders will design road maps tailored to their school’s unique culture, constraints, and opportunities.
