First #naisac13 session to attend today: @NishantMehta on leaders creating value through empowerment.

@GrantLichtman you chose a good one! @nishantmehta knows his stuff. #NAISAC13

Ready for @NishantMehta's #NAISC13 Love his great questions! 21st century schools require 21st century leaders. What does that mean?

Sitting with best friends @boadams1 and @jgough to listen to @NishantMehta #naisac2013

At "21c Leadership: Creating Value Through Empowerment" w/ @NishantMehta at #NAISAC13

Heads have been remote to the school. Need to be less isolated from rest of school via @NishantMehta #naisac2013

@nishantmehta calls for more collaborative school leadership, and less hierarchical. Begins w/ quotes from @GrantLichtman #NAISAC13

Leadership shod be looking for more collaborative teamwork. Push isolated segments to work together. @NishantMehta #NAISC13 Me: model C's

@nishantmehta "Schools were to deliver an education. No longer." Education now pulled from many sources. What's our value added? #NAISAC13

"Welcome to our moment of change..." @willrich45 via @NishantMehta, asking tough Qs re indy school identity at #naisac13

History of independent schools not a good indicator of future @NishantMehta #NAISAC13

What is value of an Independent Education? @NishantMehta think of the whole experience: Purpose, mission, cost, values, etc.#naisac13

Courage to make tough calls critical for change to take place @NishantMehta #NAISAC13

Success vs. failure of initiatives - ow.ly/i/1BaZh (from Krosier) @nishantmehta #NAISAC13

"Mentorship is a mutual endeavor..." @NishantMehta #naisac13

Faculty want to be engaged leaders have to create opportunities for that engagement aligned with vision @NishantMehta #NAISAC13

.@NishantMehta shares great story of "faculty hunger" for authentic voice in leadership, decision making, vision... #naisac13 

Need to move faculty beyond compliance to commitment. @NishantMehta #naisac13

@nishantmehta tells story of current school engaging faculty to clarify purpose, move from compliance to enrollment to commitment #NAISAC13

Need to define relationships between students, teachers, and knowledge at your school. May not be the same for all @NishantMehta #naisac13

Teacher 'compliance' not sufficient. Investment & shared vision/stakes key. Requires authentic #TeacherVoice. @NishantMehta #naisac13

Does we have a Portrait of a Graduate? ow.ly/i/1Bbb2 Reflected in practices? In every learner's portfolio? #naisac13 @NishantMehta

Content is rarely mentioned when we talk about essential qualities of our students. Must align time with those essentials. @NishantMehta

Bust silos, flex, build competencies, anticipate roadblocks, rethink and reflect @NishantMehta #naisac13

Appreciate @nishantmehta's pts re embedded time for fac - 1 every 7 days 1day/trimester. But school transformation demands more #NAISAC13

Love that @NishantMehta is discussing Leading by Following! Listen, coach, let others drive. #naisac13 Follow; assist in course correction.

Veer and adjust, but have to stick to the roadmap. @NishantMehta #naisac13

#naisc13 @NishantMehta Key to change is common planning time.

@nishantmehta explains difference between "sticking to roadmap" and "adapting to quick change." #NAISAC13

How to define the differentiated value of your school? @NishantMehta #naisc13

Combine the qualities of a graduate and the characteristics of professional excellence to define value. @NishantMehta #naisc13

@nishantmehta explains how Bassett's 21st C shifts serve as "measures" for current school to assess itself. How do we measure up? #NAISAC13

Some faculty just ask what they should do, but more critical that they learn from working the process @NishantMehta #naisac2013

@NishantMehta: invite your faculty to be a part of and makers of the change - #NAISAC13

Lasting change involves the whole community. @NishantMehta #naisc13

So great to connect w/ @boadams1 @GrantLichtman @jgough & @NishantMehta at Nishant's #naisac13 session!

@NishantMehta Thought your #NAISAC13 session great. Am glad you are coming to Atl. Strong believer in starting w/ purpose & w/ Fac as "us"
