Workshop Title: Maximizing Leadership for Change

Summary: Powerful push and pull factors are forcing current education systems to dramatically change, and are placing radically new demands on leaders at all levels. The push factors are boredom of students, alienation of teachers, and relentless expectations and accountability from the public for greater performance. The pull factors are new learning modes that are intrinsic to the human condition (intrinsically meaningful learning, and working with others), and the allure of the digital world.

New Pedagogies for Deep Learning—or NPDL—believes every student deserves to learn deeply and to support whole systems to transform learning—schools, provinces, states and countries to want to take action, make a positive impact and grasp opportunities that will lead to success in life.

NPDL works alongside educators and governments to change the role of teachers to that of activators of learning who design learning experiences that build on learner strengths and needs, create new knowledge using real-life problem solving and help all students identify their talents, purpose and passion.
