Digital Delusion by Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath - Webinar Series
School leaders today are navigating one of the most complex challenges in modern education: how to lead thoughtfully, responsibly, and courageously in an increasingly digital world.
We invite school leaders, aspiring leaders, and district leaders to join us for a unique, leadership-focused book study of Digital Delusion by Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath.
This is not an anti-technology conversation. Rather, it is a data-informed exploration of how digital tools—as they are currently implemented—interact with attention, memory, thinking, and learning. Drawing on robust research (so you don’t have to), Horvath provides leaders with the language, confidence, and evidence needed to make thoughtful decisions that protect the conditions required for meaningful learning.
The study will unfold over five intentionally designed sessions:
  1. Myths & Data – separating assumption from evidence (Feb. 5 @ 7PM MST)
  2. Mechanisms – how learning actually works in the brain (Feb. 12 @ 7PM MST)
  3. Smartphones – attention, distraction, and student development (Jared joins us) (Feb. 26 @ 7PM MST)
  4. Artificial Intelligence – promise, limits, and leadership responsibility (Mar. 5 @ 7PM MST)
  5. Application – translating evidence into practice at the classroom, school, and system level (Jared joins us) (Mar. 12 @ 7PM MST)
Whether you lead a classroom, a school, or a system, this series will equip you to move beyond opinion and reaction—and toward clear, principled, evidence-based leadership.
If you care about student learning, cognitive development, and the long-term impact of the decisions we make today, this conversation belongs to you.
We look forward to learning together.
