Attend this webinar to explore our framework: “Face reality. Get serious. Imagine harder.” Together let’s confront the difficult truths facing education today, captured in the “denials” that confront the world at this critical juncture, and explore what this means for schools that seek to be more relevant, just, and sustainable into the uncertain future.

Now more than ever, schools are regularly expected to speak out about major events—and often pressured to take sides. In this session, explore tools and strategies that can help your school decide how to respond—or not respond—to future issues. Dive into a discussion of how to choose which issues your school will address, as well as how, when, and what to communicate.

Leveraging our framework “Face reality. Get serious. Imagine harder,” let’s consider more deeply what the learning environments that foster the types of skills, literacies, and dispositions considered throughout this series look and feel like. How do they differ from the legacy practices that still define much of schooling today? And, importantly, how might we articulate aspirational visions for the experience of school in the future and begin to take steps to realize those visions sooner rather than later?
