Leading SRI Reflective Learning Communities Institute – July 29-31 San Antonio
This three-day institute is designed for educators who are often called upon to facilitate meetings or deliver professional development and need support in designing, implementing and supporting adult learning. Using research-based tools and strategies, participants learn how to nurture ongoing conversations designed to improve teaching and learning. The Institute provides in-depth study of protocols; introduces adult learning theory; builds explicit connections between adult learning and student success; supports participants to ask for and receive feedback critical to their success; and enables participants to design action plans that facilitate the improvement of teaching and learning through the lens of educational equity and excellence.

Let’s Talk About It!
Have an idea? Let’s talk about it! Join an upcoming conversation with Deirdre Willams, SRI Executive Director. Make your voice heard SRI. Whether it’s something we haven’t thought about during Fall Meeting, an upcoming Equity Retreat, the latest issues in education regarding equity that we should be talking about, or a new webinar you’d like to see, I want to know what you think – and so does the SRI board of directors. Over the next few months, I’ll be listening to your insights, taking notes, and turning your opinions into action.
Please take advantage of one or all of the Let’s Talk About It sessions. They will be held the first Wednesday of each month. The next one is August 6.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Resources for Summer Learning
Now that summer is here, we wanted to remind everyone of the amazing books and resources available at the SRI website! In addition to the outstanding SRI Resource and Protocol Book, we also carry books aligned with the SRI mission that are written by our affiliates (some are on sale!), as well as resources like the SF-CESS cards. Everything you need to deepen your own learning, as well as tools to support the learning of others. Our newest addition to the online store is An Uncommon Theory of School Change written by Kevin Fahey, Angela Breidenstein, Jacy Ippolito, and Frances Hensley. This is an amazing book that highlights the power of reflective practice to improve schools!
We also have resources like our Facebook Group to share ideas, dilemmas, tools, and articles. Our YouTube channel has videos from past keynotes to use in upcoming PD or for your own learning and a fancy SRI promotional video!
We are still offering discounts on some of our most popular titles! Find some new reads and combine it with an order for the tools you need for the professional development you will support this summer.
