#edleadership in a 1099 world

By Randy Ziegenfuss

Screen Shot 2016-02-16 at 5.57.18 AMEarlier this year I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Dr. Rod Berger as part of a series of interviews he is doing with Superintendents across the country. It was a great conversation in which I had the opportunity to share the work here in Salisbury Township School District.

In the interview, we talk about

  • the need for leaders to be passionate and curious learners.
  • how we prepare learners to be passionate and curious.
  • the role of the superintendent and how it is shaped by the context of the community.
  • engaging the community, students and teachers.
  • balancing progressive education with traditional school accountability.
  • using social media to share the work and story.
  • digital transformation as a process that takes time.
  • preparing the next generation of leaders through higher education.

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."
