Despite current ads and slogans, the world doesn't change one person at a time. It changes when networks of relationships form among people who share a common cause and vision of what's possible.
This is good news for those of us intent on creating a positive future. Rather than worry about critical mass, our work is to foster critical connections. We don't need to convince large numbers of people to change; instead, we need to connect with kindred spirits.
Through these relationships, we will develop the new knowledge, practices, courage and commitment that lead to broad-based change.

The whole child needs to be engaged in order for academic learning to occur.
High standards are a basis for a caring culture. Data should inform all of our work with children, families,
teachers and educational leaders. All children should be supported emotionally and challenged
academically. I could use the same characteristics to describe both an
effective preschool teacher and an effective high school teacher.
Students in the opportunity gap require a greater focus on caring than they do learning.

Leadership Success Stories
Decide who is A and who is B “A” will start with 3 min to share a leadership
success Partners remain quiet The aim is to listen and be heard
Honor the following ground rules:
Listen to each other with respect, without interrupting to comment or ask questions
Speak about your own thoughts, reactions, feelings and experiences, not those of others
During your turn, do not comment on what your partner has said
In order to accomplish our goals….. Principles & Anti-Racist MCO
Our established values-based framework. We hold each other accountable to sustaining these Principles to meet the Agency END.

"Our agency has a strong tradition of innovation and risk-taking and I'd like to honor those staff members who embrace these actions and encourage others to do so," said Superintendent John Welch. "These are clearly values illustrated in our Principles that Guide Our Culture by viewing risk-taking as an opportunity to learn and our Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership by challenging the process."

Immunity Mapping
To understand, Kegan & Lahey ask a series of questions: What is it you’re committed to doing? What behaviors are you doing (or not doing) that are
working against achieving this commitment? Why? What commitment have you made to yourself
that compels you to operate this way? What is your big assumption behind this competing
commitment?

Open Space Technology
Open Space
Agenda is created by inviting everyone present to nominate issues that she feels passionately about and is prepared to take responsibility for.
Participants choose which sessions to attend and the meeting is underway.
From then on people meet in groups to discuss and make recommendations for action which they consider are relevant to the specific issue.
Reflections
Reflect on your learning from the day
Consider what/how you will share with those you lead
