2.10.1 Change management for gifted programming
Leading change in gifted education from the position of middle leadership can be a challenging undertaking. Despite this, it is possible to lead significant, transformational change. This session will apply John Kotter’s change management research to gifted education. This story of change management explores the process required for a paradigm shift in a large P-12 College, impacting the philosophy, vision, policy, strategy, programming, identification, and provisions for high potential learners. Key lessons from this experience will be shared to inform and inspire gifted education leaders, addressing strategies to grow influence and apply sound change management processes applicable to numerous educational settings.
