GLENN E. MEEKS

Consultant – 21st Century Learning and Teaching (September 2011 – Present)

Glenn Meeks has developed a new internal strategic planning process called “Creating a Culture of Learning” – AASA will publish a book on the process in September of 2014.  It is a facilitated process which enables an educational organization to create connections and conduits between all of the silos which impact 21st century learning and teaching while also addressing changes in district policies and processes.  It takes all of the conversations and initiatives a District is holding about the revision of curriculum, which is driving a change towards student-centered learning, and brings them into a coherent five year SCL Roadmap.  The planning participants; consisting of policy, executive, building and classroom level representatives, create a roadmap containing tasks, goals, timelines and cost impact across a span of five years starting with where they are today and articulating where they should be in five years in order for the plan to be declared a success.
