Change isn’t easy in schools and districts, especially since the pandemic. Yet, change is what we need if we seek high levels of learning for all students and we seek a workforce that is engaged, satisfied, and consistent. In this interactive two-part workshop series, you will learn how to apply systems thinking to a school or district initiative in order to increase the likelihood of success. You’ll bring an initiative to the course and apply the knowledge you gain to your initiative. You will receive feedback about your initiative and make improvements to your plans. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of systems thinking and change theory.
