Librarians as drivers of change and influencers of innovation in schools.
Leadership is an opt-out activity. All educators, including librarians have the potential to drive change and innovation within their school. Becoming a more effective library leader depends on understanding your personal strengths and inclinations as a leader.
Based on the Four Frames of Leadership, described by Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal in Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice and Leadership, this session will provide the opportunity to reflect on your leadership style and understand your personal “frames profile”.
Participants will consider new perspectives about the future role of libraries and librarians and be encouraged to collaborate on real-world examples of change opportunities and challenges.
This experiential learning workshop will explore practical strategies for how librarians can exercise constructive influence within their library unit, their library as a whole, and the broader school context, to positively contribute to the future of learning.
All K-12 educators and administrators are encouraged to attend.
