EduCon 2.2

Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowd: Collaborative Action Plans

When:

Session Six: Sunday 2:30pm–4:00pm

Where:

Room 204

Who:

Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach

Affiliation: 21st Century Collaborative

Conversational Focus/Audience:

All School Levels

Conversation Description:

If using Web 2.0 tools is so easy, why is implementation so difficult? Preparing students for the 21^st Century calls for collective action of all stakeholders and this session looks at the steps needed to build momentum and garner buy-in from the entire school community. Participants will discuss ways to plan collectively and strategically for the future, develop a collective professional development plan for 21^st Century skill building, and make sure all students have equitable access to a 21^st century education.

Conversational Practice:

This will be a fast paced, facilitated session that will result in a collaborative action plan that truly leverages the wisdom of those in attendance. The goal of the session is two-fold: 1) to develop and capture a synthesis of thinking around- barriers to the shift, proactive solutions for overcoming the barriers, and development of specific, measurable action statements that can be implemented in your local context. 2) to model a protocol that can be used to garner buy-in at your school or district for managing change.
