Understanding Learning as the Core Business of School

1. What would/does “making learning the core business of school” look like in your school or district? What would need to change? Is there a “small win” you can identify? 2. Who are the current learning leaders in your school or district? What is the value of establishing learning leaders at all levels of an educational organization (vs. just school-level or district-level administrators)? 3. What steps might your educational community take to develop learning leaders throughout the organization? 4. Describe your “bifocal lens”—your future vision for students vs. present demands. In what ways do you find yourself moving between these two perspectives?
