Leading in Disruptive Times - A Convo with Mark White - The #InnovatorsMindset #Podcast S3 EP 31

George Couros welcomes Mark White, an influential educator whose impact was shared by Dwight Carter in the book, Because of Teacher! Couros begins this podcast with a reflection of a picture of a kid in a bowling alley playing a bowling video game. This image is connected to how we can learn from different modalities - video games can provide a new perspective and bring different benefits to the learner. In this episode, White talks about leading in disruptive times and asking questions to understand different points of view. White also shares a powerful realization about the needs and learning styles of his various generations of staff members when it comes to professional development.
