Leadership Matters

A program of the Institute for Leadership Development and Systems Thinking

The Center is developing a new online learning center, called “Leadership Matters,” that will provide school system leaders ready access to concise, reliable and accurate information on a range of topics. The ultimate goal of this exciting tool is to give users the knowledge and skills needed to use a systems approach in the transformation of public education.

Leadership Matters employ an innovative delivery system that utilizes technology to overcome the obstacles of both time (for attendance at meetings and conferences) and money (for travel expenses to those conferences). By delivering high-quality content directly to the audience in the place of their choosing (as long as they have an Internet connection), the program offers affordable, accessible and flexible professional development opportunities.
This online learning center is a centralized, searchable resource — “library” of sorts — of media-rich presentations, lectures, seminars, and so forth, that are archived on a unique website.

These presentations are comprised of a combination of full-motion video, high-quality audio and visual content (for example, PowerPoint presentations) available as live broadcasts or on-demand from an archive. This exciting resource will provide convenient, on-demand access to professional development any time, anywhere.

As the “go-to” organization for school superintendents, the Center knows what those leaders need to know. With access to top national and state experts in issues affecting education and school system leaders, the Center and its partners can provide the most useful and relevant information delivered by the most trusted sources. Some of the topic areas that will be addressed, all from a systems thinking perspective, include:

Career Management
Crisis Management
Innovative Strategies
Instruction, Assessment and Data Management
Leadership
Learning Communities
Mentoring, Coaching and Lifelong Learning
Policy and Politics
Public Engagement


Additional information will be available soon!
