The Summit was amazing! Loved having my students present and loved being able to hear other students presentations!

This has been a year of learning and exploration. I have grown as a practitioner and as a person because of our work.

# data[].attributes.body
I LIKE THE MORE COLLABORATIVE Summit

# data[].attributes.body
The existence of it! This community and work kept me going all year. EVEN 5 PM ZOOMS which is the feat of the year.

Team dynamics. Push for consistent community building throughout the year not just at the start

I have loved the integration of the Aztec cycle as a way to ground our work in a reflective and critical thinking process.

I have also really appreciated SVL's flexibility and understanding of the impacts the world has had on us and our students this year.

I feel like there should be a hybrid option that allows for students to compete if they feel ready and prepared but if we are able to leverage collaboration across campuses I think it can be strong in regards to the change we can make happen across schools. I also wonder how we can take the work that has been successful the year prior and start replicating in other campuses. Start sharing resources with each other and having wider movements and change across the district and not just isolated in one school!

I felt like it was a challenge for me to keep up with the details. Just like the kids!! Maybe having one truly centralized location (utilizing Schoology? ugh I know)? I know that has been a location for much of the work we do but maybe relying on it even more heavily? Or a Google drive, whatever is easiest.

more team collaboration opportunities, I think it would help us all see past our own school buildings and work on larger policies

Relentless dedication of those on our Challenge Team!

power sharing was harder this year with all the kids remote and very quiet

Differentiation of supports and expectations for teams that are classes, lunchtime groups and after school clubs.

# data[].attributes.body
I wish I would have had a larger, more reliable team and that I knew how to recruit students!

I'm hoping to become way more effective at balancing my role as a coach/guide and getting out of kids' way. I think I got so out of the way that I didn't help them? I think I need to do additional work to facilitate sociopolitical development and critical thinking before we brainstorm topics (this will be a challenge b/c I'll be out for the whole first semester - oye - but that's my goal).

I definitely want to be able to leverage my Reps more next year and have them lead more of the class sessions. This year it was difficult given the online aspect of school but I am hoping being back in person to some degree will allow this.

# data[].attributes.body
More community and connection between Reps

I have strong feelings about collaboration versus competition. Too much for a padlet. :) But collaboration 100%. I believe that for deep, systemic change to happen collaboration needs to happen.

Using sched instead of hyperfair was way better! :)

I greatly appreciated the collaboration pivot this year! (Joanna Wood)

I will do better the research cycle. I am really digging into the difference between coaching and teaching

Collaboration

# data[].attributes.body
Create more accountability.

I am all about the citywide collaboration on big systemic changes. The moment I became a coach the competition aspect surprised me. Larger scale community development should be modeled by our group. However, preparing for sharing when something is on the line appeals to human nature, too.

Creating an Equity team at our school that incorporated SBOE students.

Thank you for helping me grow.

I really think that the time burden could be adjusted, more evenly distributed, and/or reduced overall. It just feels like every meeting and event is a little too long... we often ask students and staff to dedicate 2-3 hours at a time that feels late in the evening or upwards of 7 hours to an event, and I think there must be a way to reduce those demands or spread the work over perhaps more frequent, shorter meetings. There may also be potential for simply increasing the efficiency of our meeting time to make the meetings shorter.

I really appreciated the shift from a competition to an opportunity for collaboration and sharing this year, and I would like to see that mindset continue. I learned that this topic is kind of contentious--people have vastly varying opinions on this issue--but personally I think the shift toward collaboration, toward amplifying the impact of our work, and toward growing and learning from each other RATHER THAN a focus on competition would send a positive message about how to do good social justice work in the real world to our young leaders. How much more powerful can any social justice work be if people and organizations work symbiotically rather than in silos competing for participants and resources?

I'll be moving to a new career next year... so I'm just hoping I can carry with me all the skills and lessons I've learned into whatever I end up doing.
