The document discusses building capacity for change among quality leaders. It emphasizes using time effectively to collect and analyze data and communicate findings. Leaders should identify priorities and be intentional in their work. Teachers conducting research and using technology for global awareness are mentioned. The final section contrasts problem solvers with problem finders, noting the importance of balance.
1. Quality Leaders:
Build the Capacity to Change
Time builds capacity-
So where does your time
go?
How will you collect data
analyze that data
communicate it to key people?
Identify your
priorities
Be Intentional
Teachers as Researchers

13. What Makes a Global Learning Hub?
Hub (n)- 1. The central part of a wheel
2. Where traffic is exchanged across several modes of transport
3. USB hub- allows many USB devices to be connected to a single USB
port
14. The Global Learning Hub
1 Interactive: Teachers and students create their own content (producers vs consumers)
and interact with social media to express their identity and creativity.
2 Student-Centered: Shifts the learning responsibility to the student (who owns the
learning?)
3 Authentic: Use of social media/technology should be connected to specific learning goals
and activities (relevance)
4 Collaborative: Learning is a social activity, and many students learn best through
working with a group of peers. (virtual or face to face environment)
5 On-Demand: Course content should be made available “on-demand” (like everything
else in today’s world) so students and staff can learn when, where, and how they want
from a computer, mobile phone or other handheld devices.
6 Global Competencies/Networking: The world is indeed flat...we must run our schools
that way.

19. Problem Solvers vs Problem Finders
Allow the customer to find the problems
There MUST be a balance...
