By Randy Ziegenfuss

logoI’m looking forward to sharing several presentations at this year’s Bucks-Lehigh EduSummit in Center Valley, PA (@ Southern Lehigh High School). EduSummit is a collaboration between Quakertown Community School District, Southern Lehigh School District, Salisbury Township School District, Palisades School District and the Bucks County Intermediate Unit. It’s not too late to REGISTER for this FREE professional learning opportunity taking place on Monday, August 11 and Tuesday, August 12! There will be some awesome keynote presentations and lots of educators sharing and learning from each other! This year’s hashtag for the Bucks-Lehigh EduSummit is #bles14. Follow it!

I’m excited to be a part of three presentations:

Monday, August 11

Core Six -10:50-11:45 – Room 142 – This session involves a discussion of 6 key strategies identified in the text – Core Six by SIlver, Dewing, and Perini. Learn about the six essential strategies for reaching skills embedded within the PA Core. As a collaborative group, we will brainstorm ways these strategies may be used in multiple content areas. Co-presenting with @lfuinihetten. Download the presentation (PDF). Download the Core Six Book Study Guide (PDF).

Using the SAMR Framework to Elevate Instruction – 11:50-12:45 – Room 142 – Not all technology integration is equal.

Generation Z…It’s Complicated… – 10:50-11:45 – Room 134 -Today’s youth are growing up in a world that is very different from the one we adults inhabited. Come and explore adults’ assumptions about Generation Z and some of the recent research. We’ll generate strategies for moving this important conversation forward back in your school and district.

About Working At The Edge:

My name is Randy Ziegenfuss, and I'm a retired public school superintendent and a life-long educator with over 34 years experience developing a passion for teaching, learning, leadership and technology. <read more...>

I first came across the phrase working at the edge while learning about the work of Marzano, et al. School Leadership That Works: From Research to Results. In this work, the researchers define 21 responsibilities of the school leader, one being change agent. A change agent is defined as one who is, "...willing to challenge school practices that have been in place for a long time and promoting the value of working at the edge of one's competence."
