Adaptive Schools Refresher | April 15, 2027 | 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
Adaptive Schools equips groups with the tools needed to engage in productive, challenging conversations, helps leaders design effective meetings, and supports facilitators in developing groups to their highest potential. However, the concepts and skills introduced in the seminar are not always fully internalized after a single experience. If you have previously completed the Adaptive Schools Foundations Seminar, this session provides an opportunity to reconnect with the content, refine your understanding, and strengthen your practice of the Adaptive Schools strategies and skills.
In this Adaptive Schools Refresher, participants will have the opportunity to:
• engage in dialogue and discussion
• review the practices and norms that led to productive meetings
• examine how to deal with conflict in a community
• develop confidence and competence of a skilled facilitator
• practice the moves of a credible and approachable presenter
• reconnect with the tools of an engaged and valuable group member
