Adult Learning, Equity, Facilitative Leadership, Principles and Practices of SRI Critical Friendship
The Institute on the Practices and Principles of SRI’s Equity Focused Intentional Learning Communities is designed to give educators the background information, skills and practice necessary to effectively lead collegial groups of all kinds, but especially, those focused on educational equity. Participants leave with insights and tools necessary for responsive facilitation and effective collaboration. All who are interested in being part of a learning community committed to equity with other educators, as well as those who are interested in supporting teacher-directed professional learning, are invited to attend. Groups of educators who use the principles and practices of SRI critical friendship, facilitative leadership and adult development commit themselves to learning - with and from one another. Each group has a coach or facilitator who helps the group build trust by engaging in meaningful work while providing a safe environment for taking risks. This person is a member of the group, while helping others learn the skills that promote reflection, innovation, and making the work of teaching and leading visible. Participants:
- Engage in courageous conversations about how issues of equity affect the ways administrators lead, teachers teach, and students learn
- Learn how to create and sustain an intentional learning community focused on equity
- Assemble a resource kit of protocols designed to make effective use of on-going collaboration time – whether it is with a grade level team, department colleagues, or others in an intentional, professional learning community
- Practice giving authentic feedback on student work, curriculum, and educator dilemmas
- Learn techniques for facilitating text-based conversations and reflective dialogues
