Learner-Centered Leadership: A Blueprint for Transformational Change in Learning Communities

Over the past 20 years, Devin’s vision for how to drive high-quality student outcomes enabled him to quickly ascend the roles of educator, school principal, district administrator, and superintendent. During his tenure serving Vista Unified’s more than 25,000 students, Devin earned some of the education industry’s most prestigious awards. In 2015, he was named “California Superintendent of the Year” by both the ACSA and Pepperdine University. In 2014, he received Classroom of the Future Foundation's "Innovative Superintendent of the Year" award. After joining Vista in 2012, he was invited to the White House nine times; both in recognition for district-wide achievements and to partner on national efforts with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Educational Technology and the Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools. As Altitude Learning’s Chief Impact Officer Devin guided design and strategy of the organization's learner-centered technology platform and services as it expanded into a growing community of private, charter, and public schools. As Chief Executive Officer, he will lead the organization in extending its impact on the learner-centered ecosystem.
