4th annual community gathering & youth leadership core course
The vision of the SoL Education Partnership is to create systemic change for a sustainable future by forming strong collaborative relationships within, between, and among schools and communities. In this special event, students and adults will engage, learn, and apply their learning together in our National Learning Community.
Who Should Attend?
This learning experience is designed to enhance team learning, so sites are urged to bring stakeholders, including superintendents, school administrators, teachers, staff, students, youth leaders, college and university partners, business partners, NGOs, local government partners, and community leaders. The core course is for stakeholder teams from member sites as well as sites interested in joining the SoL Education Partnership. This program is open to non-members by special invitation only.
Anticipated Learning
After having attended the course, participants will have an understanding of the core competencies required for building schools that learn within communities that learn for a sustainable future. Participants will also have an enhanced ability to think systemically, communicate effectively, and lead effectively. They will also have on-going access to a supportive learning community with others who are engaged in creating learning communities for sustainability.
NEXT STEPS
We will be sending out more information about our Chicago location, area hotels, program costs, and a sample agenda in March, 2010.
We are grateful to the Nathan Cummings Foundation and to our partnership members for their continued support of the SoL Education Partnership
