Looking for meaningful connection, fresh thinking, and practical ideas you can bring back to your school or system?

​
This New Year, LeadMeet events are happening in both the Calgary and Edmonton areas. Each event features short, thought-provoking presentations from leadership colleagues, along with time for dialogue, reflection, and networking in a relaxed social setting.
​
Registration is free for Council for School Leadership members, but spaces are limited. We encourage you to RSVP early using the links provided to secure your spot.

Come for the ideas. Stay for the conversation. Leave inspired for what’s next.
Invitation to a Leadership Book Study: Digital Delusion
School leaders today are navigating one of the most complex challenges in modern education: how to lead thoughtfully, responsibly, and courageously in an increasingly digital world.
​
We invite school leaders, aspiring leaders, teachers, and district leaders to join us for a unique, leadership-focused book study of Digital Delusion by Jared Cooney Horvath.
This is not an anti-technology conversation. Rather, it is a data-informed exploration of how digital tools—as they are currently implemented—interact with attention, memory, thinking, and learning. Drawing on robust research (so you don’t have to), Horvath provides leaders with the language, confidence, and evidence needed to make thoughtful decisions that protect the conditions required for meaningful learning.
​
The study will unfold over five intentionally designed sessions:
-
Myths & Data: Feb. 5 at 7PM – separating assumption from evidence
-
Mechanisms: Feb. 12 at 7PM – how learning actually works in the brain
-
Smartphones: Feb. 26 at 7PM – attention, distraction, and student development (Jared joins us)
-
Artificial Intelligence: March 5 at 7PM– promise, limits, and leadership responsibility
-
Application: March 12 at 7PM – translating evidence into practice at the classroom, school, and system level (Jared joins us)
Whether you lead a classroom, a school, or a system, this series will equip you to move beyond opinion and reaction—and toward clear, principled, evidence-based leadership.
If you care about student learning, cognitive development, and the long-term impact of the decisions we make today, this conversation belongs to you.
We look forward to learning together.
