Deeper Purpose: Leadership We Need Now

The past few months have been unpredictable. COVID-19 has imposed unconscionable loss, outrage at the racial discrimination non-white Americans routinely experience - specifically Black Americans - has renewed calls for systemic reform, while extreme weather from climate change has displaced many from their homes. Amidst it all, NTN school leaders have persisted towards deeper learning outcomes for all students, in many cases through uncharted terrain. Virtual Leadership Summit is a beacon, an opportunity to pause and consider how Deeper Purpose in relation to our shared goals has, and will continue, to shape one’s leadership practice. As complexity swirls through this moment in history, it is paramount to be confident in what matters most, and hold that at the core of how we lead others.
