Reimagine Schools

In this episode, Dwight Carter, a former NASSP Digital Principal of the Year, shares insights on his book, Leading Schools in Disruptive Times: How To Survive Hyper-Change, and offers advice for working with “Generation Z” kids who need positive self-talk and crave a balance between technology opportunities and expanded face-to-face interaction to enhance social-emotional learning. He also provides a strong foundation on how to reinvent school space from his previous book, What’s In Your Space? 5 Steps for Better School and Classroom Design, and explains how new “Z Spaces” are becoming popular options in school design with an emphasis on converting the entire school into a learning space as opposed to just individual classrooms. Carter also discussed his new career path as an Effectiveness Coach and lays out his vision as to how current school administrators could benefit from working with a leadership coach.
