KidsRSU

All administrators in RSU2 joined 35 other administrators from Maine for two days of in-depth training focused on second order change.  What is second order change?  Second order change implies a fundamental break with past practices.  It requires new knowledge and skills for successful implementation.

RSU2 is transitioning to a performance-based, student-centered school system.  (see Vision Statement on the RSU2 website) One purpose of this challenging change is to improve student learning.  The second purpose for the change is to improve students’ success rate in post high school work/school/service.  For education to change, we are faced with the challenge of thinking of schools differently.  Our current model of school is 100 years old.  Developing a model of “shared leadership” will strengthen our work toward student-centered learning.  One element needed for success is administrators learning together to lead the change.
