Awesome conversation today with district leaders in SE Wisconsin involved in Transforming Public Education.
We looked at the successes and challenges of the last year, set some targets and benchmarks for this year - had some real conversations AND - validated working collaboratively and regionally, not competing, but building makes sense. I was very proud to be an observer and one who has the charge of listening and supporting forward movement.
One of the personally connected successes and challenges discussed was the use of technology. We put some great things in place = success. But - they were not utilized because we still have a ways to go to change the way we work and have it be something that is not an add on. This is great progress. We are no longer admiring the problem, but looking at how we can make them happen.
Our districts are ready. We will do some capacity building and some specific targets to build new communication and sharing - plus ways to make it embedded in our work.
Our first challenge will be a convening on November 1. Moving to live broadcast, back channels and chats to supplement the face to face.
Video and digital stories - short and to the point on a regular basis.
Connecting when appropriate via desktop conferencing and webinars for information sharing when it is awareness or knowledge building.
A short afternoon that left me with a lot to put in place.....but oh so exciting!!! YEAH!
