Leading Learning empowers all stakeholders to affirm shared values and develop the skills and dispositions to grow and contribute productively in a global society. Finally, Disrupting Business as Usual promotes courageous leadership that inspires and engages students and adults as creative risk-takers to make compelling change and learn in our global society.
