Collaboration and Innovation

All educational leaders have an important role in how they lead students, peer educators, and even those administrators with whom they have influence. Though placed in charge or made responsible over a certain discipline, field, or aspect of a school, it in no way should result in an “island” mentality or sense of sole authority.

Educators and leaders have varying competencies and interests that support the wider learning community. A sense of community, collaboration, and communal discovery and growth should permeate both the faculty lounge as much as it does our classrooms. There are no sacred sages, but rather a gathering of life-long learners sharing experience and encouraging growth.

I created the following video as part of a “Technology and Leadership” course to explain my leadership and educational convictions.
