Distance Learning and the Future of Schools: Thoughts from a Roundtable Discussion
On Friday, April 10, GLP’s Stephanie Rogen served as a panelist for a school leadership roundtable discussion facilitated by Michael Nachbar, Executive Director of Global Online Academy (GOA). The session was split between panelists sharing their thoughts and small group discussions in breakout rooms, all of which centered on the following key questions:
As educators around the world have had to design and manage distance learning plans in a short amount of time, many school leaders are now contemplating what impact these changes will have on our schools when they reopen. What will follow this unprecedented global transition to online learning and how might this change the way our schools operate?

Strategy Every Day: The Power of Agile Teams
On Wednesday, February 26, Stephanie Rogen and Randall Dunn (head of Latin School of Chicago) facilitated a three-hour workshop on strategy implementation at the 2020 NAIS Annual Conference in Philadelphia. As Randall described at the start of the session, it was a “workshop, not a listen-shop” — while both Stephanie and Randall presented a number of key insights for the attendees, there was also plenty of time for everyone to work collaboratively and brainstorm some actionable ideas that they could pilot when they returned to school. (Click here to access the toolkit that workshop attendees used to guide their work during the session!) Here are some takeaways from the workshop:

Elevate and Float: Roger Brown on Dealing with Disruption
This week, we had the privilege of leading a deep dive workshop with approximately 75 heads of school at AISNE’s Heads Retreat. The setting (Cape Cod) was restful and AISNE staged a wonderful two day retreat that offered real time for reflection, structured work, and organic conversations.
We loved every minute of our work with Heads, and we also loved listening to AISNE’s other guest speaker. He was funny, warm, and he captured beautifully our belief that great leadership and strategy is all about making clear choices about what to do and what not to do.
