Designing the Change Blueprint @ BCS by Davina Ruiz https://padlet.com/davinaaruiz/5evehv5t3qsu5xa5 Purpose: To engage participants in applying their understanding of transformational systems change by co-creating potential solutions to the challenges faced by Bayor Charter School (BCS) in building a trauma-informed, socially responsive environment. Instructions: In teams of 2–4, you are now part of a consultancy team brought in to support BCS during its early stages of transformation. Based on the problems presented in the case study and your knowledge of transformational change in systems, develop 2–3 high-impact solutions that could have helped the school begin or accelerate its journey.
