A shared group vision helps create clear alignment of purpose, direction, and language. In this phase, your team will develop an Equity Aspiration - a vision statement that defines what meaningful learning looks like for your students. This will be your north star throughout the design journey.
A lot of professional development is driven by what everybody needs to know. This process is meant to challenge your thinking. It’s about finding solutions to the challenge you're facing in a new and different way.
Reflect on your own and others' life experiences as a group to develop an equity lens that will help you draft an authentic and specific aspiration.
Make connections between transformational learning experiences, meaningful learning, and equity.
Develop a first draft of an Equity Aspiration that articulates a vision of meaningful learning for students.
List observable behaviors aligned to each Equity Aspiration that allow participants to articulate what it would look like if their Aspiration became reality.
Support the collaborative development of a team aspiration that considers equity in voice, allowing each person to contribute to the shared vision.
You will have finalized an Equity Aspiration that articulates your team’s vision for meaningful learning. You will also have identified three observable behaviors that will help indicate progress towards your team’s goal.
