Conversations about “transformative” change in education have been ongoing for decades with little real return. But now, when the challenges for schools and schooling moving forward are increasingly existential, the moment for real reform has arrived. 

If you want to lead in this moment, the Big Questions Institute on “Scenario Planning for a Post-Pandemic World” will clear your path and focus your work. It will not only challenge you to ask the “big” questions, but it will provide you a framework to engage in those questions in meaningful, productive ways in your school communities, with parents, students, boards, and others. 

Facilitated by experts in school change, culture, globalization and technology, the Institute offers a space free of evaluation, where curiosity and creativity, informed by research and experience, guide inquiry.

Provocations, deep dives, and best practices will explore four broad categories:

• preparing students for a decidedly different future of life and work
• situating our practice in the current contexts of culture, equity, and globalization
• strategies for dealing with the complex yet urgent pull toward institutional change.
• using questions as powerful tools for exploration of mission, vision, and culture.
