Year Twelve ~ 21st Century Leaders & Adaptive Capacity
Thursday-Friday, March 15-16 at the
DoubleTree by Hilton Bloomington - Minneapolis South

Our theme this spring enhances the conversation we began in the fall ...
 
School leaders have long been talking about and working toward twenty-first century readiness for our students and our organizations.  Now that we are twelve years into the twenty-first century, we understand that while we all want the very best education for our students, we do not all agree on how to define excellence.  And while we are trying to get a handle on that, globalization and technology create dramatic, persistent change that will in turn require us to once again redefine our goals.  Our complex world requires leaders who are able to build organizations that have capacity to respond to rapid change in flexible and adaptive ways.  Last fall, we explored adaptive leadership from the perspective of the organization.  This spring, join your colleagues and continue our conversation as it regards the individual, exploring leadership that establishes agile, responsive systems that provide the best for our twenty-first century students.

Please register for the conference by Thursday, March 1.
