As schools prepare for a return in the fall, educators have an opportunity to envision and create a “new normal.” In this recorded webinar, Jay McTighe and Greg Curtis present ideas from their book, Leading Modern Learning: A Blueprint for Vision Driven Schools, 2nd ed., that offer a compelling vision for a contemporary education.

A high-performing school district that functions as a professional learning community (PLC) reflects thoughtful alignment and integration of the PLC process by the superintendent and board of directors, central office, individual schools, and teacher teams. While highlighting the efforts of highly successful school districts, Janel Keating will describe how districts organize and align at each level to implement PLC concepts and practices systemwide.

With this leadership resource as a guide, you will learn how to align the work of every PLC team within your district. Inspire professional learning communities to achieve continuous improvement and a guaranteed and viable curriculum for every student.

This book is designed for K–12 school leaders in various settings. Discover strategies to support special education teachers and manage successful special education programs. Focus areas include highlighting the power of connections, professional learning, collaboration, co-teaching, and leveraging technology for special education success.

“The proven process in this book,” says author Kim Wallace, “helps leaders keep their equity lens wide open and zeroed in on serving groups of students that have been denied access to a quality K–12 education by responsibly and responsively infusing new initiatives into their organizations.”

Designed for K–12 leaders, this title examines how to develop responsive leadership characteristics that foster schoolwide success.

Author Christopher Jenson writes, “Often we’re lulled into believing we’ve fixed a deep-seated issue when all we did was resolve surface-level issues.” This book is your guide for going deep, with five action items to navigate your work demands, next steps for implementation, and tools for classrooms.
