Podcasts about leading learning

What if the difference between surviving the principalship and loving it again came down to how you spend 90 minutes of your day? In this energizing episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with longtime collaborators Dr. Joseph Jones and Dr. T.J. Vari from The Schoolhouse 302 to explore how their new book, Time, Tools and Tactics of Instructional Leadership, A Principal's Guide to Leading Learning, helps leaders escape operational overload and step fully into the role of instructional leader.​ Joe and T.J. share the story behind their partnership, from trail runs at White Clay Creek to blogging, keynoting, and coaching leaders across the country, all centered on one belief, iron sharpens iron and leadership should never be left to chance. They unpack practical systems like asking, “Does this need to get done now, and does it need to be done by me?”, reverse time blocking, and their AFA framework, anchor, focus, align, which together help administrators reclaim their calendars and refocus on what happens in classrooms.​ Listeners will hear how nine concrete leadership systems make it realistic to visit four to six classrooms a day, deliver specific, neuroscience-informed praise, and build clarity around a small set of high-leverage “look fors” that every teacher understands and can grow toward. Whether you are an aspiring leader, a new assistant principal, or a veteran principal feeling stuck in management mode, this conversation offers a clear first step, audit your calendar, define what 50 percent instructional work could look like, and start removing the “pebbles in your shoe” that keep you from leading learning with purpose and impact.

You know that change is constant, but are you truly preparing your team to thrive in it? One important piece of building a culture of change agents is adopting, promoting, and supporting a learning mindset. This is more than offering occasional training. It's about helping your people go deep, broad, and far, in their learning and development.https://swiy.co/go-leading-learningDo you have a learning mindset in your team?Most leaders say, “Yes, of course!”They say:We're open to change.We understand we can't stay still.We encourage everybody to adapt to change,We're always open to new ideas from our team.Great! That's the right mindset. But how are you putting that into practice?A key part of building a future-ready culture is nurturing a learning mindset. We need to be constantly learning, relearning, and even unlearning things that used to be true but aren't true anymore.Whenever I talk to leaders about building a culture of change agents, this is an important feature. Sadly, it's often forgotten.I spoke about this last week in Brisbane at a large conference of schools teaching VET (vocational and educational training): many of the essential skills we will need in the future.Two weeks before that, I spoke to employees of a large company that was running their annual “Careers Week”, helping employees map out their career plan and use the company's resources to roll out that plan.And in a few weeks from now, I'm speaking at the Australian Human Resource Institute (AHRI) conference, discussing the future of work and leading through change and disruption for HR professionals and other leaders.All of this is about change, and a key part of that is having a learning mindset – for you as a leader and for your organisation to actively and proactively help people learn.Offer three kinds of learning.Broadly, think about learning at three levels: deep, wide, and far.* Deep learning is understanding more about your area of expertise - staying up to date with ongoing professional development.* Then go wide, developing broad skills we all need that are not tied to a particular role, job, or area of expertise. This includes innovation, problem solving, digital literacy, AI literacy, emotional intelligence, resilience, well-being, and critical thinking. These wide, transferable, skills apply in any role and job, and will be vital as jobs change in the future.* Finally, develop skills that help people look “far”. These are the skills of a futurist: anticipating what's coming in the future, dealing with uncertainty and amiguity, and understanding the impact of current and future trends.As a leader, provide opportunities for your team members to develop in all three areas. And don't forget your own learning, too!That might sound like a lot of time-consuming and expensive work, but it doesn't have to be that way. The traditional training course still has value, of course, but you also have many other options now for learning and development. In fact, there are many ways to incorporate learning in on-the-job activities.For some examples, download my worksheet with a list of these activities, and choose which might be suitable for yourself and your team.Download the worksheet:https://swiy.co/go-leading-learning Hosted on Acast.

Soft skills training is a different beast than technical training, and Manny Avramidis, president and CEO of the American Management Association, knows this well. AMA provides management development and educational services to individuals and organizations in over 100 countries, with a primary focus on soft skills. In this episode of the Leading Learning Podcast, Manny talks with co-host Jeff Cobb about how the market for professional development and education has changed and matured during his quarter century working at AMA, how AMA places emphasis on the application of the skills and knowledge it teaches, and how it can say that a very impressive 98 percent of people who have taken AMA training confirm that they apply what they've learned. Manny also touches on his belief that a leader's success should be measured by the intelligence of their team, the value of leveraging partnerships, and why AMA and Tagoras (the parent company of Leading Learning) formed a partnership to allow membership organizations to get their learners access to AMAs library of 70 plus e-learning modules. For leaders of learning businesses and aspiring leaders, there's lots to glean from this conversation.

Although, in the past, these student learning activities usually took place inside a school classroom when technology tools were available. However, since the challenges of COVID-19 presented themselves about a year ago, blended learning is now a function of teaching and learning in not only face-to-face classrooms, but also in remote and hybrid learning situations. When done well, blended learning combines the best of both traditional and digital teaching which results in more engaging learning experiences. Digital tools, if used appropriately, can allow for more personalized instruction as well as open up new opportunities for collaboration, communication and project-based learning. But the effective implementation of blended learning does not happen automatically. In this edWeb podcast, three stellar superintendents share the leadership strategies they have employed to get the most out of blended learning for their students, teachers and administrators. The Technology Director for the Verizon Innovative Learning Schools Program at Digital Promise also joins in the conversation. Examples of effective blended learning activities are shared along with resources to assist others in leading and implementing successful blended learning environments. This edWeb podcast is of particular value to school superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring leaders. ClassLink ClassLink's mission is to remove barriers between students and impactful education content.CoSN Visionary leaders empowering every learner to achieve their unique potential in a changing world.
