Educational Leadership: Leading with Purpose
Dr. Greg Bublitz and Dr. Jessica Loustaunau present an engaging exploration of generational differences in K-12 educational leadership, focusing on the expectations and experiences of Generation Y and Generation Z educators under the supervision of Generation X administrators. With over 20 years of expertise in special education and educational leadership, Dr. Bublitz and Dr. Loustaunau combine research insights with practical strategies to address key challenges in today’s dynamic educational environments. This interactive session is designed to foster dialogue and collaboration. Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions and activities that highlight the generational dynamics impacting work expectations, leadership styles, and compensation perceptions. Special emphasis will be placed on understanding generational cultures and how this understanding supports staff inclusion, ultimately leading to more inclusive practices for students. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to enhance communication, build stronger support systems, and promote inclusive leadership practices. As part of this experience, Dr. Bublitz and Dr. Loustaunau will introduce a digital reflection workbook, providing attendees with tools to capture insights, reflect on leadership practices, and develop personalized action plans. This workbook serves as an ongoing resource for educators and administrators to apply session takeaways effectively within their schools and districts.
