leadership and discuss the situation briefly. In education, with great
challenges, how did Mr. Clark (who died December 29, 2020) use his

roles?

– Topic Discussion #4A: Reflect on your school experience and today’s
public school model. What’s the same…what’s different? What type of
change is needed to help schools adapt to taking on more responsibility
for social services (nutrition, mental health & wellness, parenting
classes, and home visits)? Think of a school system as a business
organization with a C-Suite (school board & superintendent, senior
directors), upper management (principals, assistant principals,
supervisors), and middle management (teachers). How might these
groups differ in their commitment and approach to leading change to
achieve better student outcomes? How can these groups work together
to deliver reliable and efficient service while also being agile and
responsive to a fast-changing world?
– Topic Discussion #4B: Learning extends beyond the walls of a
classroom. In fact, the world is a child’s classroom. Reflecting on
Rita Pierson’s Ted Talk, discuss ways in your current or future
leadership role you could be a champion for a kid. How can you
make a difference and/or inspire others within your organization to
a difference in a child’s life?
