Schools rarely give teams the time and space to get ideas done. This is where our K12 Purpose Summit comes in (1/31-2/3 in Boulder, CO). Our commitment is simple: if you give us a team with a focused idea, our coaches will help them get it done. Join us! k12purposesummit.com

"The problem today is not stress, the problem is meaninglessness."
Essential to Watch: "What if we designed schools specifically to help children thrive?"
Come and see @knowKMD!
Reminds me of Design for Belonging @susiewise.

This talk explains why purpose is the next design principle for school. School is broken right now for many children. This video looks at the science behind purpose and how a new generation of schools are using it to help children learn and thrive youtube.com/watch?v=16YZjBoE…

We have 5 spots left for our Salmon River Program for School Heads from July 13-18 in Idaho. This is a yearlong support program for school leaders that starts with a rafting trip in deep wilderness. Join us. @crottymark @wrldleadership @NWAISconnect vimeo.com/747003713
Are you a school leader looking to recharge this summer? We are once again offering the Salmon River Program for School Heads, which begins in July with rafting on Idaho's Salmon River followed by a year of community conversations. Leaders need this space. @wrldleadership

This week in our Designing with Purpose Workshop @mfsfox worked with @JessCatoggio to use our Purpose tools to broaden their existing approach to Intensive Learning Travel Programs. Next up - coaching through our Virtual Coaching Institute. We can't wait to see the outcomes!
If you want to learn about the Mastery Transcript Consortium, a movement to replace the traditional college transcript, learn more at this talkback from schools moderated by an MTC alum. More excited than ever about MTC after their recent conference. tinyurl.com/MTC-Talkback2
When we allow human development to drive learning, and not vice-versa, all kinds of design decisions about school start to make sense, as explained in the first few minutes of this interview with my favorite education neuroscientist. youtube.com/watch?v=crEDHe4Q… @wrldleadership
This is an excellent example of how a school can go beyond the theory of purpose formation in young people and anchor it in a specific toolkit that scaffolds for the grade level. Nice work @DTSchoolSeattle and @SueABelcher
The Downtown School kicked off their school year with a Youth Purpose Summit - check out their blog for more on how students explored purpose learning and worked to craft their own purpose statements bit.ly/3L1nGQL

I am excited about how the team at @wrldleadership is scaffolding the purpose clarification work for middle and even primary grades. Purpose is a process of identifying, following, and intentionally building meaning in life and this is a powerful survival skill for this moment.
Another incredible Youth Purpose Summit in the books! Today @e_hawk3 and @JessCatoggio spent the day working with middle and upper year students at @BritishSchoolNY
Thank you @DTSchoolSeattle and @SueABelcher for this opportunity. I left inspired by what this rising generation is already accomplishing!
The Youth Purpose Summit at The Downtown School in Seattle is a wrap! @RossWehner had an amazing time working with 140 students and faculty as they explored gifts, shared stories, and built purpose maps for following meaning in a month ahead.
Our river program for school leaders is a wrap! Over five days, we paddled 80 miles down Idaho's iconic Salmon River. We left our cell phones behind and dropped into a much-needed experience to Connect, Renew, and Reflect. Join us July 2023 for our next trip!

I really loved this article from @leadanddesign exploring school culture, which can be like "wrestling with a shadow." A fascinating reminder that school culture is constructed and can be shaped with intention. @gregbamford @Carla_R_Silver nais.org/magazine/independen…

Feeling all the feels after a few days into leading my first immersive student travel experience w/@wrldleadership since March 2020. Reminded again how incredible it is to learn w others of all ages and backgrounds. The Puerto Rican people have been amazing hosts! 🇵🇷 ❤️
#PurposeLearning is what the late Sir Ken Robinson likened to the two human journeys: the inner journey to discover self, the outer journey to connect with and impact the world. These journeys are more important now than ever. @wrldleadership
