Researchers and educators with expertise in conflict resolution, psychology, and leadership skills will provide a solution-focused conversation for educators at every level of practice, including district leadership. Taking a page from the “disagree better” initiative to create common ground and healthier discourse, this discussion will offer concrete steps for improving communication and relational skills even in the most challenging of circumstances.

Cultural psychologist and leadership strategist Eli Gottlieb, former education commissioner turned bridge-builder Katy Anthes, and former superintendent turned professor of practice and education leadership Andrea M. Kane will join Peter DeWitt for this discussion.

Development of the content for this event was supported by the Wallace Foundation.
