Title:
Leadership for Whole-Brain Learning to Succeed in the Global Economy
Presenter:
Dr. Susan Goodale
Description:
School leaders are under great pressure to produce “right brain” outcomes of student achievement. At the same time, current research reflects the growing need to develop “whole brain” capacity if students are going to be able to succeed in the emerging global economy. Daniel Pink’s new book, A Whole New Mind, offers tools and strategies for the application of knowledge, creativity and innovation to the needs of America in a global economy. In this workshop, participants will learn strategies that can assist in teaching core academics for at-risk students, bright but disengaged students who tend to drop out of school, and students who must be prepared to deal with life by operation from both sides of the brain. This academy will look at the trends that are changing America’s role in the global economy, the Six Senses for Right Brain Thinking, how to lead schools in integrating those senses with left brain application and bring the whole new mind to bear on both just-in-time learning and life-long learning.
Application and Dissemination:
Participants will identify the lessons of the day that are most critical in their work setting, both in terms of the brain research, future global rends and their implications. They will develop two or more specific goals, outline action steps and provide a timeline for completion.
