Webinar “Mindsets Leadership Series: The Hard Truth About Thought Leadership in Action”

The many demands of the K-12 school leader include serving as a thought leader. Moving the hearts and minds of their school communities through inspiration and discovery remains elusive for many due to the political realities which surround their work.

For the current school administrator, what are the limitations and expectations of providing authentic thought leadership? What does thought leadership look like given the multiple pressures and ever-expanding duties on school leaders’ to-do lists? Is there room in the day for thought leadership after all the other boxes are checked? And, if we accept the notion that thought leadership matters, how are we training our leaders to undertake this responsibility? This session promises a lively and provocative conversation surrounding how and if school administrators can serve as thought leaders.

This edWebinar will interest K-12 school and district leaders, education technology leaders, and teachers. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.

This edWebinar is part one in a three-part series on leadership.

Her schools were named among the most innovative in the nation and received a CA Senate Commendation. None of this would have been possible without a great team of educators, which is why she now dedicates her career to supporting school teams to reach new heights. She believes that given the right conditions, any leader can become a transformational leader and any team can thrive. As a professor, Dr. Assisi has worked at the University of Cambridge, the University of California Los Angeles, California State University in Dominguez Hills, and the University of San Diego.

She holds a doctorate in curriculum, instruction, and assessment, a Master of Science degree in teaching and learning, and an undergraduate degree in public and urban affairs.
