We believe that the voices of students, educators, and families should be front and center in decisions about how to remake school after this moment. We believe that conversations within communities, between people who care about each other, are the practice of democratic discussion our country needs right now. We believe that our country is in a moment of challenge and division...and that this opens the possibility for creating new shared visions and positive change.
Come to this free public talk to learn from Dr. Erin Raab, Co-Founder of REENVISIONED, about the 100 Days of Conversations About School: Collectively Reimagining School Post-Pandemic initiative. 100 Days of Conversations is a collaborative project organized to catalyze conversations in communities across the country on each of the first 100 days of the new administration - January 20th through April 29th, 2021. These conversations will be analyzed and highlighted for collective dreams and turned into policy advocacy briefs to be shared back to the participating communities and with state and federal education departments, nonprofit organizations, and educators.
Learn how the initiative is currently seeking young people, educators, and community members across the country to catalyze and facilitate conversations in their communities. Find out how your school, nonprofit, or education organization can partner with 100 Days of Conversations About School by hosting a conversation and how it could be a game-changer for your family and student engagement process this spring. Come be a part of this progressive and timely approach to educational policy making, systems change, and strengthening the role of schools in creating a better future society.
