Wednesday Session
Wednesday Session
How might we lead educational change, despite ambiguity and disruption, with care and curiosity? In our opening session, Remi will pair a keynote address with collaborative inquiry activities as we explore the complexities that leaders navigate amid everyday innovation, uncertainty, and growth. His commentary will feature a series of provocations relevant to perennial leadership opportunities, such as co-designing meaningful professional development pathways and listening carefully to the wisdom and needs of our learning communities. The examples included in Remi's keynote will draw from his experiences as both a designer and a researcher, as he shares insights from pedagogical innovation initiatives as well as timely design challenges, like the current use of AI in education. Following his remarks, Remi will facilitate a series of interactive and introspective activities that will help strengthen TTSC as an inquiry community and elicit the group's shared educational curiosities and commitments to then guide our learning together.
