Facilitators: Gene Thompson-Grove


This seminar is designed for educators (leaders, teachers, coaches) who are called upon to facilitate and/or participate in on-going communities of practice. Guided by principles of equity, participants will use research-based tools and strategies to build community and support equity-focused conversations designed to improve leading, teaching, and learning. The seminar provides a study of protocols and how and why to use them, builds explicit connections between adult learning and student success, supports participants in asking for and receiving feedback critical to their practice, and engages participants in collaborative, reflective practice. Participants leave this seminar with insights about how to use various tools and strategies with colleagues to:
  • Work in ways that challenge each other’s assumptions about educational excellence and equity;
  • Build the skills and culture needed for reflective dialogue and collaboration;
  • Engage in collaborative examination of student and educator work;
  • Manage school and classroom-based dilemmas; and
  • Give and receive constructive feedback.
