ICED PODCAST - Mindsets for Wicked Problems in Educational Development

About this episode

Professor Donna Ellis discusses mindsets for addressing wicked problems in educational development.

In a world where educational systems are constantly evolving, how can educational developers stay grounded, hopeful, and effective? In this episode of the ICED podcast, Professor Donna Ellis , past president of ICED and Director of the Centre for Teaching Excellence at the University of Waterloo, invites us to rethink how we approach change. Drawing on the ideas of Randy Bass and Simon Sinek , she explores the power of mindsets —from wicked problems to infinite games—and reframes complexity as opportunity. This conversation is a thoughtful and energizing reflection on stewardship, hope, flexibility, and the long view of educational development. Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned leader, this episode will leave you with practical lenses—and renewed optimism—for navigating the future of education. Hébergé par Ausha.
