This transformative workshop is designed for educators seeking to better understand and establish reciprocal community partnerships.

This will be an interactive presentation where audience members will be asked to reflect on changes they would like to make in their school and use that desired change as a lens for understanding how to influence others in the absence of authority.

We will explore the steps necessary to create this culture, the tools needed to continue the practice during the literacy block, and methods for students and teachers to monitor progress towards self-directed learning behaviors.
