 Clint Holden, MA Affiliate Consultant A school leader today is supposed to act as an entrepreneur and a person of vision, able to inspire, empower, and motivate his staff under the auspices of a shared mission statement that fosters common goals for the entire community (Engels, Hotton, Devos, Bouckenooghe, & Aelterman, 2008).

This is the time to go from being an owner, manager or supervisor, to being a leader. According to James Plueddemann, leaders must move from an egocentric practice to an other-centric practice; we must take the initiative to focus, harmonize, and push the talents of others into action.

Schools are often attacked and maligned for not doing the right thing. During this 2020 pandemic, the public has often seen things schools could have done better. Certainly, we have all adjusted and schools have been schooled like many of our institutions and businesses-churches, libraries, hotels, airlines…  Toby A. Travis, EdDExecutive Consultant Chad P. Wick, president and CEO of the KnowledgeWorks Foundation states, “You can’t expect children to learn 21st-century skills in schools built for the 1950s. We need schools designed for 21st-century success.” Some would argue the meaning and function of the learning environment is minimal, as related to the traditional brick and mortar school. Projects such as the widely successful Hole-in-the-wall Project, where students accomplish amazing levels of learning in far from ideal surroundings, suggests that students learn in any setting – and to a certain extent that is quite true.
Toby A. Travis, EdDExecutive Consultant Over the past weeks, through conversations with many parents, teachers, and school administrators, I’ve become increasingly aware of two faulty assumptions that are exacerbating the current crisis.
The first is a false belief that a previous definition of “normalcy” can be achieved on our campuses during the pandemic.  The Gateway International School System (Vietnam) has contracted the GLOBAL School Consulting Group to provide comprehensive professional development services to the teachers and instructional leaders of the system’s schools for the 2020-21 school year.
The foundation for the project is the commitment that Edufit and GIS have to delivering world-class education, including high-performance professional learning that ensures the delivery of innovative and trusted education services to its students, faculty, and leadership.

Most election days are filled with excitement and celebration as we exercise our right to vote for the next president of the United States. The right to vote is guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States. Citizens of the United States are allowed free expression and free will to cast their vote for the individual they wish to lead our country as the President for a four-year term.

I think everyone at some stage of their lives wants to change the world. Perhaps the change might be to make the world a more equitable, compassionate society, removing racial injustices, hatred, war, and famine. To bring about justice and harmony. Maybe to bring all to a position of faith. Perhaps to see the world free from a tragic and deadly pandemic. As a lifelong learner, I know I have biases, some of which remain unconscious, and I am trying to rid myself of them. I also know I have much privilege. It has become very clear to me that with privilege comes huge responsibility. My ‘change the world’ moment came a few years back when I reflected on the state of the nations, and our lamentable failure to steward and safeguard our planet for future generations. |
