The Principal 2.0 with Michael Fullan
Manage episode 418672135 series 1106906
Michael Fullan, the internationally known authority on educational leadership and proponent of whole system reform, joins us for this episode.
No doubt, many of you listeners have been influenced by Michael’s work over the years. The former Dean of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and Professor Emeritus of the University of Toronto, he is co-leader of the New Pedagogies for Deep Learning global initiative, served as Premier Dalton’s Special Policy Adviser in Ontario from 2003-2013, and received the Order of Canada (OC) in December 2012.
Michael is the author of numerous books, including the focus of today’s episode: The Principal 2.0: Three Keys to Maximizing Impact (Jossey-Bass).
We discuss:
- The Principal 2.0 (2023) is 90% new material from The Principal (2014). We cover the events that caused Michael to undertake such a significant revisitation.
- The disruptions of the past few years are forcing change in schools – which can turn out for better or worse depending on the evolving role of the principal.
- What forces have traditionally boxed principals into a narrower role?
- Spirit Work
- Global evidence for these principles
- Systemness in Action
- Connected Autonomy
- The Drivers – system change from the bottom up
- Reasons for optimism about the future
