Partner Summit Day 3

Bright Spot Storytelling

Listen to the story, taking note of the moves that were made. Consider what you may want to emulate in your district.
Debrief with a partner:
- What did you hear that you hope to try?
- What might be some specific moves you will make?

Read the 4 Equity Levers in Project Based Learning blog post.
Review the blog taking note of one of the following: What is the most important point? What idea or question would you most like to discuss? How might this impact students with diverse experiences and needs?
Take turns sharing what each person took note of and then have an open discussion about the equity levers.
Share one word to carry forward from the reading, reflection, sharing, and discussion.
Watch the project video and look for examples of the Equity Levers in Action.
Discuss: Where did you see the levers in play? What opportunities do you see to strengthen the Equity Levers in the project?
Explore the PBL Equity Levers: Teacher, School, and District Leader Considerations document.
Within your plan, identify the moves you will make to build teacher, school leader, and your own understanding of one or more of the Equity Levers.

Review the 4 Equity Levers in Project Based Learning blog post.
With your district team, identify an Equity Lever you want to focus on first, based on the data you've reviewed and what you know about your district needs.
Reflect individually: In an ideal setting for your district, what would you see, hear, and feel if the Equity Lever you selected was in place in classrooms and schools? What would students be doing? What would teachers do? What would you expect from your school leaders?
Share your look fors with your team. You may wish to review the PBL Equity Levers: Teacher, School, and District Leader Considerations document for additional ideas.
Prioritize your top 3 look fors and add them to this blank template.
Discuss: To gather more data on the current state of your selected Equity Lever in your schools, identify specific questions that you will ask focus groups of students, teachers, leaders, and potentially family members.

Engage in the Charrette Protocol as directed by your facilitator.
Following the protocol, reconnect, reflect, and revise your Implementation Plans as needed.

Prepare a 1-2 minute presentation for the larger group that highlights the story of your district's PBL launch or your implementation plan for the upcoming school year.
Include the key points of effective messages and how your plan will ignite joy for all.
Following the presentations, reflect: The PBL World theme focused on igniting joy. What new insights do you have about the importance of igniting joy for all through PBL implementation in your district?

Share a toast! Your toast can be props for specific people or experiences you've had throughout the week.
