No Outer ring outliers known. https://padlet.com/sherspelic/hg4wf3u6gyco1z07/wish/2891039962 2024-02-21 14:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sherspelic/hg4wf3u6gyco1z07/wish/2891039962 Nice to talk about this, but will we continue the conversation...or is this a check it done it for accreditation??? https://padlet.com/sherspelic/hg4wf3u6gyco1z07/wish/2891040512 2024-02-21 14:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sherspelic/hg4wf3u6gyco1z07/wish/2891040512 Response to above: https://padlet.com/sherspelic/hg4wf3u6gyco1z07/wish/2891045900 Of course it is hopeful that we all take action as a community. We have instituted 4 community learning days and will continue this work. Thanks for the reminder to turn the theoretical to real results.

It's really hard for new staff at ISL and they are definitely in the outgroup

Noticing the trends can help us either break those trends in pursuit for something different. Or noticing the trends to strengthen those trends.
