What Does It Mean to Be an Instructional Change Agent?

Speaker:  Dr. Adam D. Drummond, Center for Model Schools

Leader can be synonymous with exhaustion and overworked. But, the best phrase synonymous with leader is change agent! This administrator role, however, is often in conflict with other non-instructional duties. Imagine how your role could re-emerge as the instructional change agent to increase our leadership capacity through culture, instructional planning, learner engagement, and community advocacy!
