How will schools prepare for industry 4.0? Onward, Upward. Sometimes Sideways, is a practical leadership guide designed for educators. The 4 industrial revolution is rapidly influencing how we learn, communicate and work. School leaders are faced with the challenge of finding and retaining educators to prepare students to secure jobs in the age of AI and automation. Qualified teachers and institutions are suffering from burn-out and high turnover. At the same time, schools continue to miss the mark when pursuing excellence. The problem may be an absence of empathy-driven school leadership. The method described in this book takes a cue from contemporary design thinking processes that can be used to improve educational organizations. All school leaders should be ready to adapt their leadership style to meet the needs of a rapidly transforming world.
