When teachers work in a silo, it limits the collective thinking or brainstorming that is critical to innovative ideas that can transform teaching and learning. Change is hard and sometimes schools are unwilling to change due to many factors (already high achieving, possible union pushback, consistent turnover, and so on). However, moving outside your comfort zone and into the learning zone is a step to breaking down school silos. With skilled educators and the digital resources of today, we have ideas and strategies available 24/7. We have the power to shift a school into a collaborative community and to have critical conversations about exciting and innovative change in schools.

Leadership Series

Through first hand experiences and stories of both failure and  success, Brian Aspinall, Daphne McMenemy, Matthew X. Joseph, and  Christine Ravesi-Weinstein address four critical topics important in  today’s educational environment: toxicity, failure, perspective, and  voice.

In our ever changing landscape, we must learn to see the  value in failure. We must realize that perspectives make all the  difference in the way we interact with our world. We must understand how  toxicity can define who we become as educators and we must provide  opportunities for all learners to experience growth and express  themselves creatively.
