My school is working with Michael Horn on our next school plan. Michael has graciously allowed us to share his videos with you. We will be using these videos to explore and apply Disruptive Innovation theory to our next school plan.
I am haunted by more failure than success because of failing to adjust my professional development design to match current personal and system realities. But these failures have created opportunities as well. Here's how.
