WEBINAR | Advancing Your Organizational Strategy by Survey Design & Data ScienceSurveys are a critical research tool school leaders can use to make smart, strategic choices.  However, all surveys are not created equal; in fact, survey insights are only as strong as the survey design and analysis itself.  Join Nishant Mehta and Nikki Butts to learn how to create actionable surveys, including question wording, response scale development, and handling of sensitive content across a range of topics such as enrollment, affordability, perceived value, and financial aid.  Participants will also explore how to use data segmentation techniques to derive meaningful insights, identify strategic priorities, and measure progress. Date: October 3
Time: 10:00 AM
Presenters:  Nishant Mehta, Founder & President, MehtaCognition

RESCHEDULED! WEBINAR | Demystifying Creativity
Ever since Ken Robinson famously claimed that education kills creativity, schools have been increasingly pressured to engender creative growth amongst students.  Unfortunately, those people who demand we focus on creativity often struggle to clearly explain what this cognitive process is or how it can be cultivated.  During this session, we will start by clearly exploring what creativity is and how it functions.  From there, we will debunk the 5 most prevalent myths of creativity (good news: you don't lose creativity as you age!) then consider what this all means for engendering creativity within schools.  Together we will attempt to answer the question: are schools really killing creativity?

Date: October 10

Presenters:  Jared Horvath, Ph.D., M.Ed., Principal, LME Global
