Arlington | | Session Type: Panel Discussion Accepted by MIG(s): Public Time Allotted: 75 Description: The questions of leadership are as old as the Scriptures, as the story of Moses' conversation with God at the burning bush attests. What am I called to do? What is my community called to do? What are we called to do now? The practice of leadership is relational: engaging others to achieve purpose in the face of uncertainty. This panel will explore pedagogeis for helping people bring their faith traditions to bear on public sector challenges and conflicts to produce more durable solutions.

The Leadership Development of Today's Elected Officials: Addressing the National Education Crisis Description: Educating the nation's 70 million students in elementary, secondary and postsecondary education is one social challenge that has received much attention.

However, the reality is that few elected officials have the necessary leadership capacity, governance skills and understanding of the nation's school systems in order to develop strategies for accelerating student achievement. This analysis of current leadership development models for elected officials is a starting point for discussing the leadership skills necessary for today's education policymakers and elected officials.
