I honestly believe this rather unassuming gentleman is the most important person working in education today - and I am eternally grateful to my good friend Mark Stone for introducing me to his work several years ago.
Mal Lee
In his recent work, with Roger Broadie, Mal introduces us, as directly as ever, to the concept of The Chief Digital Officer .
As always, Mal seems to speak with an uncanny, almost supernatural understanding of our own experience and data in GEMS schools, cutting through the hype and the tech to say things as they really are. School transformation is about empowered people. It is about leadership. And it is about taking these things seriously.
I recommend that all educators and leaders working with educational technology - and looking to transform their schools - take a break from the tech, cool tools and what seems to work at a micro-level. Time spent reading Mal and Roger's blog: http://schoolevolutionarystages.net/ is, in my humble opinion, the best one can do to ensure sustainable success for schools and their students.
Enjoy!
