Leadership for the Digital Age

I, along with four other team members, have recently participated in session 1 of the leadership academy sponsored by  TASA and November Learning.  So much great information!  Below is a listing of resources shared on day one.  I would suggest that you bookmark Alan November's website- http://novemberlearning.com/

Do not pass up the opportunity to hear him speak.  Your thinking will be challenged in a positive and proactive manner!!!
