Before the next time we meet again:
Conduct an Empathy Interview for discovery and learning about your magnet program from a different point of view
We will discuss:
•The things that most surprised you or you learned
•Look for observations that shift your perspective
•What are you most excited about after conducting your interview
•Quotes that stand out to you from the people you spoke to
•Patterns that might arise from the group’s experience
