33. The future we go back to with Justin Medved and Garth Nichols

Our guest today is Justin Medved. He is the Director of Learning, Innovation, and Technology at The York School - a K to 12th-grade independent day school in Toronto, Canada. Justin leads the way in professional development for faculty to ensure that technology is integrated into the classroom, and 21st-century pedagogy is developed to enhance learning. The York School was the first school in Canada to implement a 1-1 laptop program, and thereby positioned itself as a tech innovator early in the game. Justin has spent more than 10 years expanding and improving the school’s tech offering. He is an Apple Distinguished Educator and a Google Certified Innovator.In this episode, Justin articulates what it means to be a 21st-century learner/teacher/school.He gives specific strategies for how to start from the “why” technology is needed in education to the “how” it can be implemented. Listen and take note of how a school can improve its value proposition and increase enrollment by embracing technology as a non-negotiable basic skill needed for the future. If you want to learn about the role of tech in schools, this conversation is not to be missed.Quotes:5:52 “We as an institution needed to figure out where tech belonged within the tried and tested traditions of the past; new pedagogy needed to be crafted and woven into the way our school operated.”11:30 “The broad awareness of just how many skills are required to exist in the world today goes well beyond what a traditional education can deliver.” 15:30 “People want confidence that the school knows where it’s going (with technology).”23:35 “Schools are very complicated organisms. It’s so easy to come up with a change and aspire to have a change that ultimately contributes to your school’s value proposition in the market or increases enrollment, but realizing that change takes a lot of energy with a lot of stakeholders involved and its not as simple as a few Saturday PD days and some newsletters.” 25:34 “A brave school - or a school that really ends up implementing change well doesn’t lose sight of the long-term stewardship required on some of these big initiatives.”30:50 “The mindset you (a teacher) have to adopt is one of continuous learning; the teacher has to come to the table with a growth mindset and a willingness to ask questions, seek help, and drive towards competency.”Here are some resources mentioned in our discussion:Seth Godin, This Is Marketing - https://seths.blog/tim/Dr. John Paul Kotter - the Konosuke Matsushita Professor of Leadership, Emeritus, at the Harvard Business School, and best-selling author - https://www.kotterinc.com/8-steps-process-for-leading-change/Grant Lichtman, nationally recognized thought leader in education and author of, “Moving the Rock: Seven Levers WE Can Press to Transform Education” -  http://www.grantlichtman.com/Cohort 21 https://cohort21.com/The Strategic Change Accelerator https://www.cais.ca/professional-development/strategicchangeacceleratorThe York School - https://www.yorkschool.comWhere to learn more about Justin Medved:Twitter - https://twitter.com/jmedvedBlogs - http://medagogy.edublogs.orgJustin on Linkedin https://ca.linkedin.com/in/justinmedved
