Designing Equitable, Learner-Centered Ecosystems One Community at A Time
“David has a way of getting to the ‘Why’ like no one else I know.”
Jenny Davis Poon - Center for Innovation in Education
Your WHY comes from knowing your community
The path to real equity driven, sustainable learning ecosystems requires a radically inclusive, co-created LOCAL coalition of ALL stakeholders. This coalition must first decide WHY change is needed and what result does the community desire.
DON’t GET THE WHAT BEFORE THE WHO AND WHY
Too often education transformation skips the most important part of the process
The steps in the transformation journey are like chapters in a book. The first chapter is the the engagement story. Getting to know the characters and their role in the story. That is followed by an exploration in chapters 2-3 of what the situation is and what might be occurring to change that situation. Then comes the story in Chapter 4. Almost all education transformation failures occur because the plan STARTS with Chapter 4.
