May 12th - Paul Kimmelman on School Improvement, Innovation, and Educator Engagement

Join me Thursday, May 12th, for a live and interactive FutureofEducation.com webinar with Paul Kimmelman on his book The School Leadership Triangle: From Compliance to Innovation.  Dr. Kimmelman believes that while educational leaders must be responsive to federal policy mandates, compliance alone will not guarantee continuous school improvement; and he believes that leaders must create conditions that foster innovative solutions to perennial problems and engage all educators in systemic reform.

Time: 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / 12am GMT (next day--international times here)
