Drive: What the Science of Motivation Can Teach You about High Performance Daniel Pink, author of four provocative books

about the changing world of work

Welcome by Robert Hallett, Executive Director, Edward E. Ford Foundation Introduction by Bill Christ, Hathaway Brown Head of School In his latest book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel Pink demonstrates that the secret to high performance and satisfaction in today’s world is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. He uses four decades of behavioral research to reveal why the traditional approach to high performance backfires on most organizations.

He will explain how many common organizational incentives often go wrong – and can reduce both creativity and satisfaction on the job. Pink shows, with real-life examples, why Motivation 3.0 – built on autonomy, mastery, and purpose – is much more effective than the 20th century approach to motivation.

Concurrent Session 1 How Does Innovation Happen?

9:15am – 10:15am

Opening Session

The Ahuja Auditorium

8:00am – 9:00am

Jessica Jackley, Co-founder, kiva.org

Introduction by Jason Habig, HB Middle School History Department Chair

HB Gym nasium

The Indispensable Moment: A New Kind of 21st Century Education ELIZABETH Coleman, President, Bennington College

Introduction by Bill Christ One of the country’s leading innovators in higher education, Elizabeth Coleman’s vision for the liberal arts and their role and reinvigoration in society has been widely recognized in the United States and abroad.

In this session, Coleman will discuss the implications for pre-college and collegiate education in general. She believes that it is the obligation of education to affect the quality of our democracy, and that systems should be redesigned to nurture an effective and robust citizenry. In her mind, this calls for the reinvention of the liberal arts. Bennington College is addressing this challenge in specific ways, including by launching new pioneering curricular programs – among them a distinguished lowresidency graduate program in writing, a unique center for the study of language and culture, and the recently established Center for the Advancement of Public Action, which invites students to put the world’s most pressing problems at the center of their educations.

Kiva, launched in 2005, now channels more than $1 million every week to entrepreneurs in the world’s poorest communities. Jessica Jackley explains how to rapidly scale a global company while staying true to core values, and how to manage increasingly decentralized teams while maintaining a common purpose. She also offers a personal account of how she was able to foster innovation and design thinking while balancing risk in the midst of intense growth. Drawing on her eclectic background – she studied art and philosophy before earning an MBA – Jackley presents powerful new lessons, reframing best practices in atypical, thought-provoking ways that underscore her optimism about the power of business to change the world.

The Origins of Transformative Ideas Richard Ogle, Author of Smart World: Breakthrough Creativity

and the New Science of Ideas

Introduction by Toni Cross, HB Middle School History Innovation happens within an existing framework or space of ideas.

Richard Ogle’s focus will instead be on how to achieve a breakthrough, which implies making a creative leap to an altogether new space. In breakthrough thinking, imagination – not analytical reasoning – is the key skill. Ogle will explore this topic in the context of some celebrated instances of breakthroughs in the arts, science, and business, and then turn the attention to practical ways to nurture and develop these skills in an educational context as he encourages participants not to think outside the box, but to think inside a more powerful box.

Leadership Through Design Systems, Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University

Moderated by Jamie Morse, HB Upper School Visual Arts Department Chair Illustrating with products such as Sherwin-Williams’ Twist & Pour package, and business models such as Apple’s iTunes, and Malcom McLean’s container shipping, Fred Collopy and John Spirk will explore how important innovation and design are to success. Attendees will learn how a design attitude complements a decision attitude, along with some techniques that are used by designers to manage complex problems.

They’ll also discover why, given the state of things, we must all be designers.

The world needs people who integrate the analytic skills that have characterized professions such as business, medicine, engineering, and law with the design skills that have characterized professions such as the graphic arts, music, industrial design, theater, and architecture.

Appreciative Inquiry into the Art of Change Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University

This session will introduce the participants to a novel, strength-based method for igniting positive change in their educational institutions.

Appreciative Inquiry has proven to be an effective and energizing way to engage multiple stakeholders in discovering their individual and collective strengths. They can then imagine new possibilities in such a way that they are attracted to collaborate on them together to design a preferred future and then collectively innovate through initiatives, projects, pilots, etc. to move toward that shared future image. Ronald Fry will cover numerous topics related to Appreciative Inquiry, including rethinking why and how human systems change, and the power of the affirmative question.

Art as a Muse of Innovation Daniel Cuffaro, Design Environment Chair, Department Head;

Industrial Design Anne Fluckey Lindseth Professor of Industrial Design, Cleveland Institute of Art Lucinda Lavelli, Dean, College of Fine Arts, University of Florida

Moderated by John Verbos, Director of HB Osborne Writing Center The arts disciplines can serve as vehicles for sparking innovative discoveries and liberating the potential of ideas in a range of areas outside of the arts, including in the STEM disciplines. Much of today’s education fosters convergent thinking, but it is divergent thinking that leads to discovery and innovation. This presentation focuses on the value of visual arts in developing abstract thinking and creative problem solving. Daniel Cuffaro and Lucinda Lavelli also will explore accessible methods for enabling innovation and they’ll discuss how product design approaches have been successfully applied to intangible subject matter, such as economic development.

Barbara Danforth, President & CEO,

YWCA of Greater Cleveland

Moderated by Sue Sadler, HB Associate Head of School Being able to work effectively with differences can unleash previously unimagined creativity. Knowing how to successfully navigate our increasingly multicultural, global society is dependent upon understanding oneself as a cultural being. Participants will leave with tool-box skills such as holding multiple realities, marrying intention and impact, using privilege as a life skill, and moving from certainty to curiosity. They’ll also develop heightened awareness of how culture impacts our thinking and behavior; become familiar with communication processes that support inclusion; and learn how to apply diversity competencies for personal and professional development.

The Ahuja Auditorium

The Neuroscience of Talent Daniel Coyle, Author of The Talent Code

Introduction by Sheri Homany, HB Upper School Science Department Chair Daniel Coyle spent the last two years visiting the world’s greatest talent hotbeds in sports, art, business, and music – tiny but powerful places that consistently produce huge numbers of extraordinary performers. In this presentation, Coyle reveals what makes them tick – and explains how to use a few basic principles to maximize high performance and potential.

The secret is located in the brain; in the specific, targeted methods of training and motivation the hotbeds use to build the high-speed neural circuitry that underlies all greatness, from Michelangelo’s sculptures to Michael Jordan’s jump shot. Coyle also will share the ways to increase learning velocity through deep practice; how to spark motivation through identity; and the three habits of highly effective teachers.

Paul Westlake, Managing Principal

Moderated by Valerie Hughes, HB Associate Head for Finance & Administration Design professionals from Westlake Reed Leskosky will address the successful cultivation of a culture of innovation through an integrated design process, an entrepreneurial studio approach to professional practice, and the confrontation of constraints in the quest for deeper meaning and inspiration. This team of architects will present the benefits of an integrated process that applies a rich multidisciplinary and collaborative framework in a holistic perspective. Case studies, including the integrated LEED-sustainable design process for the award-winning Kohl Building at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, will exemplify how a precise program can be transformed through an innovative process that leverages diverse disciplines, empowers creativity, and changes the center of gravity.

The Secret Sauce of Innovative Schools Peter Kraft, Academic Dean, Peddie School

Introduction by Nancy Gladstone, Director of HB Middle School Drawing on visits to more than a dozen top-performing independent schools in the fall of 2009, Peter Kraft will discuss the seven qualities of innovative schools. He’ll explore topics such as the role of heads of school in fomenting change; reengineering administrative structures for institutional growth; and aligning innovation with mission. Other key points will include community engagement, and the importance of providing leadership opportunities for classroom teachers. While hardly a checklist or a how-to guide, these shared qualities of innovative schools will provide a window into best practices and successful change management.

The Neuroscience of Talent Daniel Coyle, Author of The Talent Code

Introduction by Sheri Homany, HB Upper School Science Department Chair Daniel Coyle spent the last two years visiting the world’s greatest talent hotbeds in sports, art, business, and music – tiny but powerful places that consistently produce huge numbers of extraordinary performers. In this presentation, Coyle reveals what makes them tick – and explains how to use a few basic principles to maximize high performance and potential.

The secret is located in the brain; in the specific, targeted methods of training and motivation the hotbeds use to build the high-speed neural circuitry that underlies all greatness, from Michelangelo’s sculptures to Michael Jordan’s jump shot. Coyle also will share the ways to increase learning velocity through deep practice; how to spark motivation through identity; and the three habits of highly effective teachers.

School Breakout Session 1 A Marketplace of Fresh Ideas 12:30pm – 1:30pm

Moderated by Mary Boutton, HB Primary School Science always starts with a question, and the most exciting question facing physicists today is also one of the most ancient: What is the universe made of? We now know that we live in an expanding universe, filled with strange and mysterious substances dubbed dark matter and dark energy.

The search for these dark components of the cosmos is generating innovative new theories and experimental techniques – and will almost certainly lead to a dramatic revolution in our most basic understanding of space, time, matter, and energy. Nature is demanding extreme innovation. Finding the answer to this key question will require a combination of audacious imagination, finely honed critical thinking skills, an eagerness and ability to absorb new information and new ideas – and the courage to jump off into the unknown.

Punahou School – Honolulu, HI Chai Reddy, Faculty Coordinator, Student Global Leadership Institute James K. Scott, President

Introduction by Missy Rose, Director of HB Upper School The Student Global Leadership Institute builds on four decades of global studies offerings at Punahou School. Sponsored by Punahou’s Wo International Center, the mission of the Institute is to develop a community of international youth leaders who understand and are engaged in common global challenges, and seek to effect positive social change.

Organized around the theme of water in 2010, the centerpiece of the initiative is an intensive two-week summer program that engages a multinational cadre of rising high school seniors. Key components of the Institute are community-service projects developed by student teams for their respective communities, and supported by a year-round online network. The Edward E. Ford Foundation and the Education Research Initiative – a partnership of Lenovo, Intel, and Microsoft – contributed lead funding to the Institute, along with the Freeman Foundation and Luke Center for Chinese Studies. This year, 28 students from eight schools in the United States and China participated. In coming years, the SGLI plans to include students from Japan, Central and/or South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

Project Flow: Ecology, Diversity, and Thinning Our Walls

Germantown Friends School – Philadelphia, PA Chris Singler, Project Flow Director, Upper School English, Grade Advisor

Introduction by Jill Spano, HB Upper School Science Project Flow is an E.E. Ford Foundation-funded summer program for public and private school students in the Philadelphia region that invites students to explore water as artists, historians, scientists, and social activists. This presentation will focus on several elements of the program: bridging differences, building community, interdisciplinary learning, student activism and agency, and the importance of studying water. In its inaugural year, Project Flow opened its doors to 36 students from 15 zip codes, and in the process underscored the need for public outreach by resource-rich institutions. Field trips, inquiry, and hands-on learning are the backbones of the program.

Global Service Program

George School – Newtown, PA Pauline McKean, Global Service Program Director Steven Fletcher, Math and Science Teacher

Introduction by Bill Rice, HB Middle School Global Languages Department Chair For more than 60 years, George School students have served in global communities. Now, through its Global Service Program, the school offers innovative training programs for educators who want to create and implement international service-learning programs in their own schools, and provides opportunities for students everywhere to participate in meaningful service across borders. George School is a rigorous coed boarding and day school for grades nine through 12 at which students from 35 states and 73 countries have been educated in the past decade.

Creativity, in the many forms that we understand it, will always be prized. It will, perhaps, be rewarded more than ever in the coming decades. That fact makes it so very important for school cultures to be laboratories for creative investigation and discovery. This interactive workshop and presentation is meant especially for school heads, who will discuss how they have been able to develop their creative habits to further and enrich their school culture of educational innovation, and to make their work more meaningful and sustaining.

Introduction by Terry Dubow, HB Director of Communications The operating environment, the ways in which we work, as well as necessary student outcomes have changed (and keep changing), and we would like to adapt as an organization. We would like to be dynamic, nimble, responsive, even proactive in our thinking and behavior as a school. Where do we start? What is effective? How can we make this manageable? Interesting? Urgent? Fun? Anything but painful? This session will focus on this equation for adaptive organizational growth: organizational reflection => organizational learning = organizational innovation. Creating more knowing in our schools, recreating leaders as learners in schools, is an important goal in creating an organizational mindset that embraces, and even seeks, innovation.

Today’s students, surrounded from birth by a fast-paced, stressed-out technological culture, present new challenges – and a growing incidence of learning problems. Yet these “different” brains hold talents that are vital to success in the 21st century.

This session will consider not only how to intercept problems and adapt teaching to address these “changing brains,” but also how to enable students to become masters of their technological universe instead of “tools of their tools.” All students need innovative teaching approaches to master traditional curricula and expand creative and reflective abilities for leadership in a challenging world.

Eric Gordon, Chief Academic Officer

Moderated by Charles Michener, former Senior Editor at Newsweek and The New Yorker Experts involved in implementing the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s ongoing Transformation Plan will share their insights. In an effort to eradicate spirits of voicelessness, it is important to create buy-in, which forges the meaningful relationships and partnerships that are necessary for any type of reform. Attendees will learn how important it is to invite necessary persons to the decision-making table, in order to ease the tension that is likely coupled with change and progress. Innovation and transformation require a “triple-bottom” outlook in order to realize the implications of reform on a much larger scale.

Rescuing Urban Education Cleveland Metropolitan School District Renee Cavor, Chief of Transformation

Eric Gordon, Chief Academic Officer

Moderated by Charles Michener, former Senior Editor at Newsweek and The New Yorker Experts involved in implementing the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s ongoing Transformation Plan will share their insights. In an effort to eradicate spirits of voicelessness, it is important to create buy-in, which forges the meaningful relationships and partnerships that are necessary for any type of reform. Attendees will learn how important it is to invite necessary persons to the decision-making table, in order to ease the tension that is likely coupled with change and progress. Innovation and transformation require a “triple-bottom” outlook in order to realize the implications of reform on a much larger scale.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (retired)

Fredricka Reisman, Professor and Director, Drexel/Torrance

Center for Creativity and Innovation, Goodwin College for Professional Studies, Drexel University Moderated by Diane Nichols, Director of HB Center for Multicultural Affairs

This session aims to provide participants with techniques to address the creativity crisis in American education. Today, employees must be knowledge workers who are not only competent in STEM skills, but also are effective creative problem-solvers and innovators. It is not enough to have been a successful student; knowledge workers must have the skills and motivation to continually and rapidly teach themselves the new knowledge required to solve unforeseen complex problems. Innovation requires creativity, and creativity is fueled by intrinsic motivation. Panelists will discuss cooperative collaborations, and strategies for enhancing learning through public-private partnerships in education and other industries. Participants also will learn about the Reisman Diagnostic Creativity Assessment, which will help inform ways to strengthen creativity skills in students.

Interdisciplinary Studies Program Lawrenceville School – Lawrenceville, NJ

Blake Eldridge, Co-Chair of the Interdisciplinary Studies Program Jason Robinson, History Master

Introduction by Wayne Hatcher, Director of HB Strnad Fellowship Program Interdisciplinary Studies Programs have become quite prevalent in recent years at both the university and high school levels, reflecting the growing interdependence of existing academic disciplines and a widespread conviction that our society’s most urgent problems transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries. But “interdisciplinarity” is a term that resists simple definition; and its meaning often shifts depending on how the term is deployed, creating considerable confusion about what is appropriate for inclusion in this category and the broader goals interdisciplinary programs are intended to promote. High schools that are interested in developing interdisciplinary courses must therefore confront a range of questions – some foundational, some definitional, and some practical. Presenters will discuss some recent changes in Lawrenceville’s Interdisciplinary Studies Program that have attempted to address these questions, pointing to real-world examples found in representative courses.

Between retirement, mid-career defections, and dwindling numbers of individuals entering the teaching field, schools must identify ways in which they can recruit and keep highquality teachers. Because excellence in teaching leads to excellence in education, providing meaningful professional development opportunities should be a top priority in the efforts to attract the best teachers. Through the Center for Teaching, The Westminster Schools is taking a leadership position in addressing the need for teachers across the educational community to engage in sustained and collaborative professional development programs as a way to enhance student learning and achievement.

Introduction by Kevin Purpura, Director of HB Center for Business & Finance Recently, a group of Nichols School faculty and administrators convened to discuss the competencies needed to succeed in the 21st century, and they arrived at a model for competency-based education.

Competencies include a range of skills, knowledge, approaches, experiences, and perspectives. They allow a person to carry out specific skill sets. These competencies are not a list of gaps in the curriculum; rather they include many current practices and expand on others in order to create a coordinated and collective purpose.

This session will describe the Nichols process, the school’s product, and its ongoing efforts to embrace the competencies and tie them to curriculum development and faculty enrichment.

The Power to Remake the World Bill Strickland, President and CEO of

Manchester Bidwell Corporation Introduction by Bill Christ

Bill Strickland’s message – give people the tools they need, treat them with respect, and they will perform miraculous deeds – is as simple as it is profound. From a sleeping bag on the second floor of a dilapidated building he built one of the most extraordinary organizations in America, employing and training thousands. His work has brought him a MacArthur Genius grant, a Grammy award, an invitation to lecture at Harvard University, and a seat on the board of the National Endowment for the Arts. A compelling and powerful storyteller, Strickland’s belief in people strikes a universal chord.

Introduction by Glenn Looman, HB Middle School Mathematics Through the years, rapid advancements in technology have constantly updated and rearranged the ways in which we go about our daily lives, by updating the things we use to live them with. This refers to gadgets ranging from phones, cameras, and computers to the services we use to obtain financial support, medical diagnoses, travel arrangements, sources of entertainment, and so on. The list of what has been affected throughout our time by this phenomenon is endless. And because they have been affected, we have been affected significantly. One can’t help but realize that our world has changed drastically, and will unrelentingly continue to do so. But is this such a horrible thing?

In many ways, we’re in a true crisis, but there are reasons to be hopeful.

This presentation will discuss the political divide between teachers unions and advocates of reform.

Fund for Our Economic Future

Moderated by Steve Gleydura, Editor of Cleveland Magazine By connecting Northeast Ohio’s innovation assets to its historical strengths in manufacturing, bioscience, materials, and energy, the region is making progress toward a more vibrant economic future. Learn why an innovative or entrepreneurial culture can’t be supported in just one way. It takes an entire ecosystem of programs, approaches, and stories and messages to sustain positive momentum. In order to advance, communities around the country need to align their efforts to foster business growth, talent development, inclusion, and efficient government. Creating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Cleveland region has taught these community leaders the best approaches to developing an innovation infrastructure, supporting entrepreneurs, and changing perceptions. Transforming any region’s economic future demands a combination of innovation and collaboration.

Participants will learn how to assist students in defining their personal and professional visions early on so they can embrace change with ease, seeing change as a window of opportunity rather than something to fear. The best ways to give young women the tools they need to overcome hardships and maximize their potential are to reward collaborative learning and experimentation, and to encourage them to take risks, even though they may fail.

It’s difficult to ignore the country’s growing interest in cooking and food culture. Michael Ruhlman and Jonathon Sawyer will help participants put this interest into context in an age that’s defined by epidemic obesity and a spoiling of our natural resources on land and in the ocean. In this food-focused society, we look to experts to lead the way. Sawyer is one of the 10 best new chefs in the country, according to Food & Wine magazine. He’s also leading a restaurant that’s regarded by many as the finest in Cleveland’s thriving food scene. But he didn’t get there by himself. Chefs are only successful insofar as they are teachers. Ruhlman will interview Sawyer about his strategy for training young cooks and managing a growing team of employees while balancing the larger concerns of sustainability, food sourcing, and social responsibility.

Participants are encouraged to join the discussion by asking questions of their own.

Cleveland Redux: From Rust Belt to Biotech Titan

Fund for Our Economic Future

Moderated by Steve Gleydura, Editor of Cleveland Magazine By connecting Northeast Ohio’s innovation assets to its historical strengths in manufacturing, bioscience, materials, and energy, the region is making progress toward a more vibrant economic future. Learn why an innovative or entrepreneurial culture can’t be supported in just one way. It takes an entire ecosystem of programs, approaches, and stories and messages to sustain positive momentum. In order to advance, communities around the country need to align their efforts to foster business growth, talent development, inclusion, and efficient government. Creating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in the Cleveland region has taught these community leaders the best approaches to developing an innovation infrastructure, supporting entrepreneurs, and changing perceptions. Transforming any region’s economic future demands a combination of innovation and collaboration.

Placing Innovation at the Core of School Culture

A discussion of how communication, collaboration, and celebration can open the door to innovation in schools. Sarah Hanawald and Jason Ramsden will use stories and examples to present strategies that can help academic and technology leaders bridge the divide between their respective silos and help change school culture and foster innovation.

They’ll share some wisdom they’ve acquired in their careers in education and offer important pointers, such as “Say yes, then collaborate to make it work,” and “Success can only be achieved when failure is expected.”

Attendees are encouraged to participate, sharing experiences from their own institutions.
