The Future of Educational Leadership

Most indicators tell us that the future of independent education will closely mirror the challenges in other industry sectors, such as retail, transportation, and entertainment.  These include public demand for alternative delivery models, lower cost yet high quality alternatives, and hybrid approaches to teaching and learning using an evolving classroom model.  It seems to me that the schools that are in current leadership roles – with healthy enrollment, strong fiscal management, deep demand, and high public respect – may be the ones that actually have the brand, capacity, and competency to meet the changing needs of the marketplace.
