In this thought-provoking presentation, former Chief of Schools for our nation’s third largest school system, and co-author of Teacher as Architect: Instructional Design and Delivery for the Modern Teacher
(Modern Teacher Press, 2012), Dr. Shawn K. Smith shares insights from his new work about instructional leadership in the Conceptual Age.
The presentation captures lessons learned from early digital pioneers outside of education...like Google, who in the midst of the retail industry “going digital”, is leading the on-trend idea that backwards is
forwards by announcing the opening of physical store locations. Smith and Chavez, authors of the forthcoming book from Modern Teacher Press® The Ask and the Architect: Customizing Learning in the Digital World, tackle the big questions about what it means to be a student, teacher, and leader in the
21st century. Here, they apply the lessons of the digital pioneers to education’s newest trends – architecting a digital curriculum in schools, designing an effective digital classroom, optimizing professional development, and finding the 21st century thinking skills our students will need to compete
in the Conceptual Age.
