It's no secret: School and district leaders set the tone for the culture within the organization. Although every employee is ultimately responsible for creating an environment where students want to be, school leaders must model the way. How can principals looking to implement change create an innovative, sustainable culture that consistently models future ready learning, relies upon a level of teaching and learning backed by science, and promotes a high level of literacy success for all students?Join us as we talk with our guest, best-selling author Thomas C. Murray, a lifelong educator who is now the director of innovation for Future Ready Schools®. In his current role, Murray works with districts to create the types of learning experiences today's modern learners need to thrive.

It goes well beyond technologyThe importance of community partnerships and relationships

The four pillars of leadership and social influence are: 1. Building trust 2. Encouraging creativity 3. Recognizing accomplishments 4. Inspiring a collective vision. In order to be a successful leader and have social influence, one must be able to demonstrate these qualities. For example, someone who is creative can come up with new ideas that will help those around them grow; someone who has accomplished a lot can show others what they can do if they work hard enough; someone who inspires others to work together on a common goal is an excellent leader with social influence. For leaders to have social influence in their community, it is important for them to be trustworthy so that people are willing to follow their lead. Creativity is also important because it can help the community grow their skills, explore new ideas and develop new technologies. This week I'm sharing reflections from leaders on their journey with leadership and social influence. You'll hear from Superintendent Jerry Almendarez, Zandra Jo Galvan, Superintendent of Greenfield Union School District, Tony Richardson, Vice Principal of the MLK Steam Academy, Associate Professor and Online Accessibility Mentor Denise Maduli-Williams, Jeff Prickett, who was named 2021 Illinois High School Principal of the Year, and Tom Murray, Director of Innovation for Future Ready Schools. 0:00 Introduction 0:55 Sabba's discovery of the possibilities of online learning and teaching 4:31 Jerry's take on the relationship betwenn leadership and social influence 6:14 The importance of online presence for professional development 8:01 Zandra's take on the importance of being part of an online circle for support 10:12 The four pillars of the relationship between leadership and social influence 10:49 Jerry's experience using social influence as a leader and how it created opportunities for those around him 13:41 How leadership and social influence can also be important for people without formal titles 16:41 Tony's experience using social media to restore trust and heal teacher trauma 18:42 Denise's experience using social influence to nurture the relationship with her students 22:51 Jeff's take on how relationships (both online and offline) can work as foundations to building trust 24:26 Zandra's framework to balacing time between work, family and social media 29:39 Tom's take on how leaders can inspire a collective vision toward change through humility and vulnerability 34:17 Sabba's workshop announcement Leading Teams That Work Better Together Workshop: https://designingschools.org/workshops Connect with Jerry Almendarez: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-almendarez-916437b1/ Connect with Zandra Jo Galvan: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zandra-jo-galvan-99b95172/ Connect with Tony Richardson: Twitter: https://twitter.com/tonyrchrdsn Connect with Denise Maduli-Williams: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dmaduliwilliams/ Connect with Jeff Prickett: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffryprickett/ Connect with Tom Murray: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomascmurray/ Connect with me, Dr. Sabba Quidwai: Website: https://designingschools.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabba-quidwai/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/askMsQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/designing_schools/
The future of schools is changing. The current education system is in need of change more than ever. Schools should focus on what students want to learn, and not what teachers want to teach them. Students should have the opportunity to explore their interests and passions in a safe environment. The nation's schools are under more pressure than ever to educate kids for an information-rich, high-tech, entrepreneurial, global economy that demands a highly trained, informed, adaptable, and competent workforce. Today, postsecondary education is required for 80% of well-paying occupations. A school that embraces design thinking will be able to create a more innovative environment for students by encouraging them to experiment with new ideas, engage in teamwork, take risks, and develop relationships with other students who have different skillsets from them. The design process is one that starts with a problem and works through the steps of finding the solution. Today's guest, Thomas Murray works with Future Ready Schools as the director of innovation. He's testified in front of the United States Congress and appeared on a variety of television and radio shows. Murray is a frequent conference keynote speaker who was named one of the NSBA's "20 to Watch" in 2018, the "national/global edtech leader of the year" in 2017, and the academy of arts and sciences' "education policy person of the year" in 2015. Both Learning Transformed and Personal and Authentic Learning have become best-sellers. 0:00 Introduction 1:49 What is Future Ready and what does it's framework look like? 6:20 How Future Ready answered the challenges posed by the pandemic 10:35 How to use design thinking to design studying practices with (and not for) students 11:50 The importance of the design thinking mindset and challenges when shifting mindset 17:21 Two inflection points that made Tom a great leader 22:01 Some strategies to help people develop empathy 24:45 Tom's views on leaders building social trust and influence 29:49 How can leaders build personal and authentic relationships with their teams Download: How Do I Learn Best: A Design Thinking Experience https://designingschools.org/2022/03/22/part-two-how-do-i-learn-best-a-design-thinking-experience/ Leading Teams That Work Better Together Workshop: https://designingschools.org/workshops Connect with Thomas Murray: Website: https://www.thomascmurray.com Connect with me, Dr. Sabba Quidwai: Website: https://designingschools.org/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabba-quidwai/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/askMsQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/designing_schools/
