Mar 15
We all recognize the truth of the idea that "a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.” But for those of us who are trying to change the world through education, this idea prompts questions: Where does that group come from? Who is in it? How does it come together to make change happen?
In this session, you’ll hear responses to those questions from globally diverse pioneering education leaders. We’ll also explore why convening is a key to transforming education, what role it plays in growing momentum for change in a school, neighborhood or country, and how to do it well.
Objectives
- Participants will know why convening is critical to growing the leadership to reshape education
- Participants will know where convening is best used to contribute to reshaping education
- Participants will know a few tips and tricks for how to convene successfully
