I am on sabbatical this Spring 2023 semester, unpacking deeper learning in innovative elementary and middle schools (see my travels below). You also may be interested in my two new podcasts, LeaderTalk (interviews of principals at deeper learning schools) and Redesigning for Deeper Learning (redesigning lessons for deeper learning LIVE ON AIR).

Please get in touch if you’d like to support, chat, or learn more about any of this work!

Welcome!

I am a Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Colorado Denver and the Founding Director of the UCEA Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education (CASTLE), the only university center in the U.S. dedicated to school leadership, innovation, deeper learning, and technology. I’ve worked with hundreds of schools, districts, universities, and other organizations and blog frequently here at Dangerously Irrelevant.

 

Where’s Scott?
