We`re breaking character limits this week as our team was all over the map leading amazing learner-centered work with schools, districts, and research groups. Check out this week`s highlights!
We kicked off our 24-25 series of Learning Walks in @santaanausd. These walks involved families going into classrooms for the first time to observe teaching and learning with staff, teachers, and administrators. It was a great collaboration between schools sites, family members, and the Family and Community Engagement team (FACE) as they celebrated with wows and wonders! Also at Santa Ana, Assistant Principals met to build their capacity to effectively coach their teams to bring the Framework for the Future to life.
We facilitated a session with the North County Superintendent Network. Vista Magnet Middle School played host with the day`s session including a Learning Walk, insights from Michael Fullan, and opportunities for Superintendents to connect and reflect.
@eusd_learns` second School Redesign Cohort design teams convened to kick off their journey! They started by analyzing the voices of students, parents/caregivers, teachers and leaders in their community, and worked to understand hopes and needs. They then looked for inspiration from schools all over the country using LCC’s School Redesign Playbook. A few days later, the first School Redesign Cohort Lesson Design Teams met virtually to share their learning from LCC`s "Design Real World Learning Experiences" course. Teams got inspiration from others and reflected on their takeaways.
We had a great kick off for the second year of our UCSD Research Partnership (now called SoCal Link) with participation from @sandiegocoe, @powayunified, @encinitasusd, @vistaunified, Bonsall Unified School District, Del Mar Union School District, @officialhightechhigh, @guajomeparkacademy, and @e3civichigh.
@alamogordopublicschools launched the design of their Framework for the Future with a Discovery Day of focus groups with students, teachers, and leaders and classroom visits. On day two, we convened 40+ students, teachers, leaders, parents, and community members to imagine what`s possible in their schools.
