What else do we need to do bring these learning opportunities back? Give them the information. Discuss. Perhaps find a K-12 cross curricular project the school can do (ie. creating a website with information about Alexander), assign a project to each group and have them try it at first to develop an understanding of how the community learning projects work.

a. Shouldn't our Superintendent come to this training or how can we communicate these ideas with him? We don't want it to be a top-down decision, but rather a "grassroots" decision. The change needs to be louder. Show them the product, not the process to the product in order to sell it better to the other staff. Is there power in the process though? People get slowed down by seeing the "perfect" end product. Teachers don't take risks until leaders take risks. Students don't take risks until teachers take risks. How would you approach your colleagues? A blog could easily be used as a common assessment. Sometimes we get overwhelmed and shut down.

Start with increasing agency amongst staff. Give them opportunities to explore and share ideas. I think its important from all levels to listen more and speak less. Teachers have amazing ideas - as do students. In Beulah every educator has permission to step outside of their comfort zone free from judgement and evaluation. They may fail doing so - but what a great lesson for students. Sometimes teachers just need to be human - and stop putting on the teacher hat. A teacher that explores and tries new things creates students that explore and try new things. Be supportive and encouraging of your staff. Empathize with them along the way. Empathize - Encourage - Empower.
