What Is a Future-Focused Leader?

Looking ahead does not require a crystal ball; it requires seeing the signals already in front of you. Learn how future-focused leaders use prediction models to look around corners by using the information their district already has to see which students may need support before those students appear on anyone’s list. Dr. Michael Lubelfeld and Dr. John Gatta examine the profile of students that leaders are not worried about, and demonstrate how school Improvement (mission, vision, values, goals & goal setting) processes that include early warning systems can identify hidden needs, focus attention earlier, and create the conditions every student needs to succeed.
