This is a great example of a reciprocal partnership between school and community! #POG #portraitofalearner
Today our 7th graders learned from one of our community partners, @amcorpackaging They were able to make real world connections between our #POG and the values the company holds. We can’t wait to visit the plant soon! Thank you Julian and Pat! @mcmspartans

Public support for democracy is crucial to prevent backsliding. But existing survey questions focusing on “democracy” may not measure the concept well, as the term “democracy” varies in meaning and may prompt social desirability. polisky 1/4

The best way to open people's minds isn't to argue with them. It's to listen to them. When people feel understood, they become less defensive and more reflective—and develop less extreme, more nuanced views. Productive disagreements begin with curiosity, not persuasion.

You love to see it! @TheOpenSystem @CIEleadlearning
People often ask me why our work seems to be catching on, when previous efforts haven’t. The one difference: an inclusive, co-created process. That’s it. Who creates the process is just as important as what the r how we do it.
