During this interactive learning experience, you’ll work with the presenters and other participants to collaboratively examine systemic and instructional challenges through data analysis and reflective dialogue. Using a structured problem of practice approach, you’ll identify root causes, explore evidence-based strategies, and develop actionable steps to drive meaningful improvement, no matter the challenge you bring to the session. Exclusive coaching throughout the event will help you continue your progress.

This one-hour meet-up is for participants of the Action Planning for the Adaptive Leader pre-conference. Participants will have the opportunity to extend their action planning work, connect conference insights to their problem of practice, and receive coaching from Dr. Chandler and Dr. Monroe to support their work back in their districts. Dr. Chandler and Dr. Monroe look forward to seeing you at one or both of these meet-up sessions.

The future will demand more than knowledge alone and future ready schools cannot be built by chance; they must be cultivated as ecosystems that balance humanity with innovation. They must integrate care, whole child/whole educator well-being, innovative instructional practices, and tools such as AI. In this session, we will share what students are telling us about what they need and want from their educational experience. How do we respond to what they're telling us as we design educational ecosystems that prepare students for futures requiring creativity, adaptability, and resilience?
