We loved attending Future Ready Schools Institute for the networking. The agenda included informal time with other district leaders to share and learn from one another that was priceless. We specifically loved meeting districts who are grappling with similar challenges.  These events are designed for constructive dialogue and reflection. Meeting national experts and corporate partners is also helpful, as a validation of our local community’s efforts, struggles, and progress.
Perhaps the best part of the Future Ready Schools institute was learning about the amazing resources provided through the network. My team was able to better understand the planning framework and we delved into the FRS dashboard to assess our digital learning gaps and readiness. The institute gave us time as a team to dive deeply into the vast resources provided through the network.  Whether it is live or archived webinars, blogs, guidebooks,  implementation modules, virtual events, role-alike groups, or live activities on social media – Each teammate has customized their engagement to suit their own professional learning needs.
The Future Ready School Leadership Institute was a wonderful experience. The agenda was jam packed with relevant information – and the interactive activities made the day not only informative but interesting and invigorating. I would recommend attending this professional learning event to all Superintendents and their leadership teams.
My team and I left the Future Ready event inspired with so many new ideas. The best part is we had action steps and a feeling of accountability to move the work forward when we got back to our district. We now include progress updates towards our Future Ready goals in our team meetings.
