We all need a clear vision and a guide to help us navigate toward our goals – especially when we are making the journey with others. In this engaging and interactive workshop for CA teachers, leaders and community partners, you’ll develop your own “travel guide” that outlines your destination (a strong Career Academy), the recommended scenic route (NSOPs / best practices), tourist traps (challenges to success) and experiences you won’t want to miss (milestones). You’ll leave with confidence and new tools and strategies, as well as access to additional resources from our online library and contacts for follow-on coaching.

Complex, messy problems are a fact of life – for students, teachers, school leaders and community partners. We all need a way to approach them with strong critical thinking and creative problem solving tools and skills. Join us for a hands-on session in which we’ll visually map a problem; analyze it for interdependencies, possible assumptions, and areas of leverage; reflect on and discuss possible use opportunities; and, draft a plan for how to bring the approach to your classroom, career academy or district. You’ll leave with access to additional resources available from our online bank and contacts for follow-on coaching.
Oct. 22nd – 10:00 – 11:15 am
Enacting solutions to create positive change happens when we are working on the right problem – especially when that problem involves a complex situation with a range of invested stakeholders. Deciding where to start can be the most important part of the process. Join this hands-on session in which you’ll name and explore a pressing challenge you currently face; then, reframe it, identify points of leverage, and discuss next steps to support a strong focus for effective action upon your return. You’ll leave with a process and access to additional HFLI resources to help you move from idea to implementation.
