Itâs a common refrain among the change-resistant: âWeâve always done it this way.â But in a difficult year, where charting the unknown has become a daily occurrence, itâs a tough argument for a school to make. Weâve never done things this wayâmeaning it may be the perfect opportunity to do them differently. In our work with schools and districts from across diverse geographies and demographics, the Institute for Teaching and Leading has seen first-hand the incredible hard work of leadership teams and educators to adjust to this new and ever-changing landscape. Our organization works with schools and districts across the country to create more student-centered learning experiences, which gives us a unique view to the changes that are, and are not, happening at scale.
