Candidates will develop an understanding of diffusion of innovation and systems change.   Candidates will consider the stages of implementation science and where their school/district teams are in implementing inclusive practices.  Identifying system drivers will help candidates understand how they, as educational leaders, can champion change in meaningful ways. 

Participants who are not ESD-U candidates are asked to identify themselves by adding “PEP” or “PD” to their Zoom participant name so seminar leaders will be able to manage breakout rooms and requirements appropriately.
