SEEing to Lead

Dr. Melinda Vandevort is a dynamic educator, career transition coach, and podcast host. With a passion for professional development, she guides educators on their journey to leadership roles through her podcast, Empowered Educator. As a former teacher who successfully transitioned into a leadership position, Dr. Mel offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help educators realize their leadership potential. Her mission is to empower educators to make a lasting impact on education while finding fulfillment in their careers.

Key Takeaways:
There are a lot of people who are able to be really good leaders. They just need guidance in making the decision to move in that direction.

Leaders need to know their people well enough to know when they need to be in a different role.

Professional learning needs to be job embedded, ongoing, and relevant to teachers if it is going to be effective.

Professional learning is when you're immersed in continuous improvement rather than the one time deal of professional development.

We have to leverage the people that we already have if we want to make significant change in our schools.

You can't know you're what and how without first knowing your why.

Dr. Karavedas is an experienced leader with over 25 years of executive-level leadership in independent schools and nonprofits.  With a Masters in Education and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, Dr. Karavedas actively teaches as a Professor at Bachelors and Masters levels.  She currently holds the position of Director of Research and New Program Development at Orange Lutheran High School where she is responsible for development and oversight of the school’s flexible learning options and pathways exploring innovation in education.

With a strong academic and research focus on development of middle management  leaders for next level leadership, Dr. Karavedas has multiple publications and presentations on a variety of topics including Becoming Your Own Leader, Impact and Influence of Mid-Level Leaders, Hiring, Training and Retaining Teachers, Women in Leadership, Developing Teacher Leaders, and Team Building 101, and more.   After multiple academic publications, Dr. Karavedas has recently  published her first book, From Striving to Thriving, as a practical guide for growth in leadership and life.

Key Takeaways:

• We have to start changing education by researching where we are headed instead of where we are and asking the right questions.
• Successful change for the future must be based on who the system is serving.
• Empowerment is not just everyone doing their own thing all the time. It needs to be within a framework.
• Decision tree structures are incredibly valuable and necessary to assist in in powering people. Use the diagram of an actual tree to simplify this process.
• If someone is equipped and empowered, engagement almost comes naturally.
• If you're spending a lot of time and energy trying to get out of a place, you probably aren't leading very well where you are.

Key Takeaways:
Most of the technology we use every day and take for granted was started for the purpose of including those with disabilities.

Students have grown up using technologies as a tool. Taking it away from them is putting them all at a disservice. It isn't cheating. Its using the tools they've grown accustomed to.

We need to pre plan according to what we know, so everyone has equal access at the same time rather than a scramble and wait at the end.

We should make social media accessible as well by using these strategies:

• Use alt tags on images 
• Capitalize hashtags
• Use shortened links
• Use captions on your videos

Julia Briggs was an educator for 12+ years, taught science and chemistry in the United Kingdom and then in Colombia, where she led the Chemistry team. Julia  has worked as an adult learning facilitator for the past 3 years and now works as head of operations for Education to Change the World. She has a master's degree in educational leadership from Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland.

Some Key Takeaways:

• We need to be educating students for the future right now instead of using the past to educate for tomorrow.
• The concept of order delivery is key to build student autonomy.
• The Acquire, Connect, Transfer (ACT) model helps us really transform how and what we teach to students in the classroom so that education improves.
• It's important to look at the framework for change and jump in before you are ready. If you wait until you're ready, you will never start the change.
• What we teach in school matters because we are creating humans who are expected to contribute to society. Some of those contributions may be good and some of those contributions may be bad, but either way, they are going to contribute. So, let's make it a positive contribution.
• Sense-making is incredibly powerful because when you have that "ah-ha" moment you adapt and understand and become addicted to that positive reinforcement feel resulting in intrinsic motivation to be curious.
• Opening the mind and being empowered brings success, which in turn breeds confidence.

Some Key Takeaways

• Teachers need to be given the opportunity to creatively educate students rather than being told what and how to teach and talk.
• Help teachers reengage with their why by scaling back restriction and amplifying autonomy
• General structures need to be present for teachers to act creatively and if we are going to offer autonomy.
• Increasing opportunities for collaboration among teachers increases like experiences for students across classes.
• We need to exercise the "less is more" approach with teachers so that they can give that to the students.
• Teacher led professional development based on their needs is key in re-engaging teachers with their profession and passion.
• Students learn so much more from unspoken curriculum and actions when they are not forced to conform as a whole.
