Annual Professional Development
Leadership 3.0
The 2010 Leadership 3.0 Symposium was a powerful professional development event for educational leaders across the state of California. With over 230 participants, the networking and learning that occurred was top-notch! Keynote speaker Yong Zhao presented an inspirational and powerful message for school reform centered around personalizing instruction through cultural relevance.
Feedback from some of the participants:
"The best conference I have attended for a long time. Excellent!"
--District Administrator
"I had a great time, met some great educators, heard some very helpful presentations, and found that no matter where we are located we are facing the same issues in learning how to effectively use technology to improve learning for our kids."
--Superintendent
"The content was mind blowing and inspirational."
--Principal
Access some of the presentations, handouts, and join the discussion all year long in the Leadership 3.0 Group of Administrator 2.0, the TICAL Community on LearnCentral.
Mark your calendars for Leadership 3.0 2011, April 14-16 in Southern California, location TBD.
