Changing World
My fellow citizens, today we celebrate the mystery of American renewal. This ceremony is held in the depth of winter, but by the words we speak and the faces we show the world, we force the spring.
-William Jefferson Clinton First Inaugural
AMONG the vicissitudes incident to life no event could have filled me with greater anxieties than that of which the notification was transmitted by your order, and received on the 14th day of the present month. On the one hand, I was summoned by my country, whose voice I can never hear but with veneration and love, from a retreat which I had chosen with the fondest predilection, and, in my flattering hopes, with an immutable decision, as the asylum of my declining years—a retreat which was rendered every day more necessary as well as more dear to me by the addition of habit to inclination, and of frequent interruptions in my health to the gradual waste committed on it by time.
-George Washington’s First Inaugural

New Approaches
New Focus on Digital Content
• Structured “Content Planning”
New Approaches to PD
• Using our most abundant resource.... Students
• Generation Yes.
New Approach to Leadership
• Attributes of an effective leader?
Planning for change
Refocus our priorities
• Our decision filter:
• Kids
• Learning
• Technology
Planning
• Planning is a chance to step back and take stock of where you are and what is possible in the future.
Planning
• Consensual “reality” can get in the way. Before an idea can come to fruition people in the system often kill it.
Planning
• It’s all about “beliefs” and “beliefs” are opinions.
Planning
• If something is worth doing, then do it.
• “Yes!” first, “How” later
Planning
• The plan serves as a map to get us where we want to go.
Planning
• Planning is a tool to educate, garner support, and inspire change.
• It’s an opportunity to tell create a new narrative about education and technology.
Planning
• Great leaders help us achieve what we thought was impossible.
• MLK didn’t say, “I have a strategic plan!” He had a dream.
• He also knew it was not an easy road. He didn’t have all the “How’s”
Planning
• Some say, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
Planning
• But the truth is, “You will see it when you believe it.”
