Mindsets Leadership Series: Upskilling Teachers for Today and Tomorrow

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Mindsets Learning.The webinar recording can be accessed here.The professional educator of today faces both opportunities and crises on a daily basis. Many teachers who find their career paths in the K-12 classroom in U.S. schools are often those who set out to make a living in a different field than that of the educator: their advanced degree is in something other than education. In a real way, schools have been forced to become “colleges of education” where teachers must learn the basic skills of teaching children along with the nuanced skills of increasing the performance of those students—on the job. What are the current strategies to address the professional development of teachers so they are fully prepared for success? How are schools and school systems adapting to today’s realities to address upskilling teachers? What approaches are working now to provide teachers with the skills for an unknown future? In what concrete ways is school leadership preparing teachers for 2024 to ensure their retention? This session delivers a lively and provocative conversation about “flying a plane while you train the crew.” This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders as well as teachers. This edWeb podcast is part two in a three-part series on leadership.
