Superintendents and Principals Invited Free to Day 1 of MassCUE Conference
Superintendents and Principals from across the Commonwealth are invited to Day 1 of the MassCUE conference at no cost to attend the Alan November keynote, a special Administrators' Lunch Session with Alan entitled “Leadership: Managing the Transition,” and to attend workshops planned with administrators in mind.
Alan’s keynote will be “Cultivating a World-Class Work Ethic”:
In an economy where global outsourcing is commonplace, students must be prepared to participate in an increasingly competitive job market. In many ways they are in competition with bright energetic, hardworking students from all over the world. In this keynote Alan discusses some of the ways we can empower our students, help them build a strong work ethic, and develop self-directed learning skills. We should not underestimate what our students are capable of achieving.
Concurrent sessions will include

Alan’s Administrators’ Lunch Session “Leadership: Managing the Transition” will address essential skills for leadership and offers practical guidelines and creative solutions for building accountability into the planning process. Articulating vision and mission, managing change, and aligning technology to primary goals are emphasized. A shift in planning from technology to the quality and application of information and communication is a critical next step.
Superintendents and Principals will receive a special mailing inviting them to attend.
