<p>Change can’t happen in isolation; you will need the support and investment of those around you. In this unit, we will explore the nature of leadership as a balance between discovering what people care about and guiding them in a productive direction. </p>
<p>At Phillips Academy Andover, educators and administrators will discuss the importance of listening to the community when developing a new hub for innovative ideas. Members of the Shrewsbury Public Schools district will share how they collaborated with students while implementing 1:1 devices in the high school. </p>
<p>Each of Units 2 through 5 focuses on one phase of the Cycle of Launching Innovation. However, as you hear from voices in practice talk about a particular phase or phases, keep in mind that each community moved through the full cycle. </p>
<p><strong style="color: #333300; font-size: 1em;">Key Takeaways</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.70788em;">Leadership is a dance between bringing people together around ideas they care about and pointing a light in a set direction.</li>
<li style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.70788em;">It's important to think how one can position innovation in ways that build off well-established values and recent successes within a community. </li>
<li style="line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 0.70788em;">Leadership is a function, not a role and is incredibly important at all levels in a school community. </li>
