Full Bright Specialist Fellow, Head of School, Principal, Instructional Coach
It is rare to find school leaders with the passion, commitment and authentic joy to transform schools from good to excellent. Lisa Radden is one of these uniquely talented instructional leaders with the ability to create a learning community that is focused on ambitious strategies, direction and goals. During Ms. Radden’s many years as our school’s Technology Director, she operated as an instructional leader. She recognizes that schools, just like classrooms, improve when you create a culture that is driven by mission, values and beliefs, and where development and leadership are nurtured. She spent significant time fostering strong, trustworthy relationships with teachers, generating opportunities to ignite teacher leadership structures, and organizing an entire school community around challenging technology goals. Ms. Radden did an outstanding job of developing collaborative teams and working to create technology-rich classrooms that energize student leadership with high academic expectations.
