Featured Work

We took several groups of school leaders, teachers and community leaders on school visits across the nation. This included designing and facilitating the visits to bring the most value to those in attendance, hosting post trip discussions to dive into learnings and sharing reading and resources. This inspired the group and helped them better understand what’s possible so they could start to implement something similar in their communities.

We hosted a workshop for a group of school and district leaders in Michigan to support instructional model and framework builds. We looked at what it is, where to begin, what’s needed internally to make a Portrait of a Graduate a reality. This included creating pre-reading, designing an interactive workshop with large and small group working opportunities and a follow up with resources and next steps to support implementation and action.
