Agile Learning Centers

Just threw this post together very quickly based on an idea I had.
Please let me know what you think – especially if you try it at your ALC!

Oh – just realized ‘the soil is trust’ isn’t on there. How should that be added to the board?

Love this, Liam! I think it helps make the tools, practices, and activity of the community visibly mapped back to the roots really effectively. It’s also just a great way to see how well we are doing with these community practices and always draw them back to the “why”, which is super important.

Very cool! I love this as a facilitator tool. I think you should have the trust bit on there.

Diagrams are great too!

Yeah… I’m out in Vancouver right now, and I think one of the things the WH staff is struggling with in embracing new tools, is knowing the roots of their educational model. I think they’ve identified as Dem School / Dem process, and now with kids scattered across different campuses every day, they can’t even call a Democratic Meeting (School Council) in a place such that everyone could choose to come.

I think they’ve identified their model with their tools, rules, and processes, rather than what those were rooted in, and now to embrace new tools, it’s like they’re giving up what their whole school was about. Yet, they have to change it, but they haven’t fully integrated that and don’t know how to if it feels like it IS their model.

So… that’s another conversation for us to have out here.

Liam, I would personally be up for trying this at Mosaic.

Thank you Liam!

This is so good and well documented! I love it!
