Adaptive Schools
LVUSD is proud to be authorized to provide the Adaptive Schools Foundation
training to a limited number of out-of-district participants.
The Adaptive Schools Foundation Seminars take participants beyond the idea of
professional learning communities to the actual implementation, describing
specific ways to weave the collaborative fabric of a faculty, develop group member
skills, and acquire the principles and understandings to engage in a continuous cycle of team and individual improvement. Adaptive Schools is the “how” of professional learning communities: how to behave in groups, how to lead them, and how to facilitate them for improved leading, teaching, and learning.
In the four-day Adaptive Schools Foundation Seminar, participants will develop:
-
An increased capacity to initiate, develop and sustain high functioning groups
-
New lenses for diagnosing the stages and phases of group development
-
An expanded repertoire of practical facilitation tools
-
Understandings of when and how to engage groups in dialogue and discussion, the limitations, forms and values of each
-
Skills to move groups beyond consensus to common focus
-
Ways to value and use dissension, argument and conflict
-
Strategies for keeping group members on track, on topic, and energized.
