Morning Pre-Conference with Ted Dintersmith
From Schools of the Future to What School Could Be NOW
Hear from educational change agent, author, and venture capitalist, Ted Dintersmith about how we accelerate, elevate, and amplify the individual successes of our Hawaiʻi public, public charter and private schools towards innovation in student-driven, real-world learning for ALL. This Executive Design Lab experience will reconnect us after the isolation of COVID to leverage the successes of your school to create a strong network of leaders committed to learning from each other's innovations, and educate generations of young people who will shape the future of Hawaiʻi, and the world.

Afternoon Leading Schools of the Future Summit
The Ultimate School Talk Story: Making Our Stories Matter
The Leading Schools of the Future Summit will take place at the Hawaii Convention Center on October 19, convening leadership teams from Hawaii’s Public, Private and Charter Schools. This year's Summit will focus on how the stories we tell help us understand the past and set aspirations for our future. The LSOTF Summit will explore how we, as school leaders, listen for and lift up the stories that matter to move schools forward. Schools are encouraged to bring a leadership team of 3-5 to best help connect, challenge and develop a common story.
During the event, school teams will:
- Strengthen their sense of how individual and school stories can be catalysts for future school transformation.
- Learn how to lead storytelling strategies/protocols at their schools to foster connection in service of their school goals.
- Articulate 1 or 2 steps they will take to amplify their school's stories within the wider community.
- Be ready to maximize the full SOTF Conference experience in service of their individual and collective aspirations for their schools.
