Chapter 9: Build Bridges: Crucial Conversations

Chapter Overview

I think the whole book is about crucial conversations, but this chapter in particular tackles a few conversations which I feel are necessary for us to have if we are going to move forward with digital leadership. These are conversations that need to be had at the school level, the District level, with teachers, students, and parents.
