How do we create schools where the systems in place support make it easier for teachers and students to do authentic, powerful work together?","Description":"Too often, the systems in place in our institutions end up becoming so restrictive that people feel like they serve the system as opposed to the systems serving the people.\r\n\r\nHowever, progressive education has too often dealt with that problem by rejecting systems and letting 1000 flowers bloom around ideas, but with little that systemizes it. That can result in a high barrier to entry for students and teachers attempting to move from a traditional educational mindset to a progressive one. \r\n\r\nWhat our schools need are dynamic, human systems that serve people and allow all of us in our schools - students, staff and parents alike - to ramp up to the most powerful ideas that can power our schools.\r\n\r\nThis session will examine the notion of the \"human system\" and participants will look at the systems and structures in their classrooms and schools to create a pathway to change to more human, progressive spaces.","Link":["http:\/\/www.practicaltheory.org","http:\/\/www.scienceleadership.org"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Case study\r\n\r\nStructured group work\r\n\r\nSmall and large group discussion","Presenter":["Chris Lehmann"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Science Leadership Academies"],"PresenterEmail":["clehmann@scienceleadership.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":94,"ScheduleLocationID":10,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":7}}
