Description
Description
While schools across the world are embroiled in day-to-day survival, at some point, the chaos of the pandemic will subside. We will get our wind back, and once we do, we’ll have to take stock of how we (as individuals, as leaders, as educators), our schools, and the world have changed. And, importantly, we’ll also have to think deeply about what our schools and education must become to navigate an increasingly uncertain future.
Coming Out of Covid is a 3-hour overview and interactive workshop that will build your capacity as an educator and leader to understand this moment more deeply and make the best strategic and academic decisions you can for your students and community moving forward. We will focus on the ways in which we can harness opportunities before us to build our personal capacity, and to design a new normal for schools – one that is more relevant, healthy, sustainable, and just.
After this workshop, you will:
Have a clearer sense of how the pandemic has changed the job description for school leaders, how we might build our personal skillsets and mindsets to withstand inevitable challenges to come, and how to re-discover the empathy, creativity and joy that led us into education as a profession.
Recognize the opportunities for institutional change that the pandemic has created.
Have a clear understanding of the starting points for design when it comes to wellness, learning, justice, and thinking about the future.
Come away with tools that you can use to begin the design process in your school community.
Now is the time to explore a different future of schools. Why not join the conversation with experienced, internationally-recognized facilitators, and with colleagues from the region who share your concerns and hopes?
