Collab Lab 68: Making Progress in a Turbulent System
Thursday April 10 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Colleagues leave, leadership changes, goals change, students come and go, you and everyone else is stressed out. How do we steer through that with hope?
Change is hard, particularly when everyone around you is just trying to get through the day. You can build walls to protect the energy and sanity you do have left, but that does nothing to change the forces directed at you. Where can you find room to take a step back and consider what school ought to be? To understand who shares your vision? To find the small places where you can nudge things in a better direction? To move from the exhausting task of putting up with a system that doesn’t work to the reinvigoration that comes from knowing you are moving towards a system that does. One small step at a time.
Come share your experience, questions, and ideas. As always, you’ll be joined by peers and collaborators from K-12 higher education, industry, and the nonprofit community. If you are, work with or know of a caregiver or student (7th grade and above) who would like to join the discussion, please extend the invitation.
