This is a presentation about the fieldwork in this course which included:

• Personal Learning Plan

• Immersion Day (shadowing a school leader)

  • Video with reflection, take aways, and self awareness

• Equity Project

  • Paper with research, data & results

This is a case study I designed, implemented and reflected at my school site.

How we started a school that is student driven and inquiry based on choice in learning.

Digging into the equity issues in the stories we can't see in the classroom and in our schools.

In this paper, I show how I helped lead my team to manage our school to cultivate a safe and productive learning and working environment as we collaborated with the district on how to close our school. Through a series of collaborative meetings involving multiple stakeholders, we analyzed our approach to resource allocation, articulated our school’s core values, pursued shared decision-making, and used data to guide cycles of inquiry, action, and reflection that we hope will in some ways continue our work to impact positive student outcomes in our district going forward. My goal for the work I did in my partnership with our team is to help our school close well, maintaining our core values until the end and ideally seeing the work we started here continue in our district elsewhere.
