What does it mean to adopt our principles at a high level? What should schools be striving for? Are we trying to be a big tent, or a small tent? If a school has a really 'pure' approach, but overrepresents white students in their student body as compared to the district - how do we see that school's implementation? What if a school has all the right BPL core components (advisory, exhibition, internships one day a week), but is also more traditional than we generally advocate for (5 classes a day, only an hour of advisory a day, only one day of internships a week, etc)? What if a school has only contracted with us to help them improve their RWL program, but isn't touching advisory? What about vice versa? etc etc

This keeps coming up in the "current political climate." Where do we stand and what will we do?

# data[].attributes.body
Examine the questions through the lens of the directional and identifying ways we’re not pushing hard enough - where are we coming up short? What are some ways we could advance more powerfully? Develop individual & organizational commitments (time for reflection).

How do we apply our directionals more intentionally? Are they our shared values? Need to probe our norms now that we are bigger. Develop processes to support us keeping these commitments (ie: process observer)

Global Leadership Community LAUNCH at BB?

# data[].attributes.body
Global Leadership Community is currently under development. This community is being conceived to elevate “imperatives” and make them accessible to leaders who are touched by or touch the BPL network.  We intend to anchor GLC work in our values and a central theme that can be transformed into offerings (ie virtual text-based discussions), events (ie 2-day guided experiences) and resources (ie Leadership cards) for leaders to engage in or explore. We'd like to decide on what GLC is/isn't, what a theme might be for this first year, and any thoughts for how to start.

Do we have an opinion on teacher training and education across the united states? Do we have or need a strategy for reaching educators earlier in their career or maybe creating a way for BPL schools or districts to see who operates from the BPL philosophy?

As promised, below we have linked the unedited participant feedback from Big Bang (thanks David!). As of this writing, we have 163 responses. Please note, voluntary non-random survey responses tend to represent the extremes of feedback and we have no idea how representative (by race, gender, age, role, etc) the responses are of the general population of Big Bang attendees. They are, however, data that we can and probably should use to inform our work. Below we've included a few different resources and we invite you to join a breakout group to chat about the feedback at our next Third Friday Session on August 15th.

What decision-making frameworks have you experienced in your work (e.g., consensus, consent, sociocracy, advice process, majority vote, etc.)?

How did those frameworks support or challenge equity, inclusion, or efficiency?

What helped those frameworks work well? What made them hard to sustain?

How did clarity (or lack of clarity) around authority and accountability impact how decisions were made?

How did the framework shape people’s sense of agency, trust, or belonging?

If you were to design your ideal framework for collective decision-making, what values would it center?
