Pre-Work

1. Read “A Pernicious Myth” by Jal Mehta, and come prepared to discuss the following questions:

1. Choose one or two sentences that particularly resonate with you.

2. How comfortable are you with this approach? Why or why not? As a leader? As a teacher? As a learner?

3. What are the larger take-aways from the reading? How does it apply to our work?

2. Skim Assignments Matter. Read more closely the chapters that resonate most with what you think your school needs to improve upon.

3. Bring with you the dates, times, and any agenda items you already have for your Opening PD days with your faculty. (If you don’t have school-specific Opening PD, then the first PD you have with your faculty).
