Goal #1: Co-create a Shared Vision
Co-create a shared and unified vision for how we can make a collective impact to transform public education over the next 10 years.

The Mapping Process
“I believe we can change the world if we start listening to one another again. Simple, honest, human conversation. Not mediation, negotiation, problem-solving, debate, or public meetings. Simple, truthful conversation where we each have a chance to speak, we each feel heard, and we each listen well.”
—Meg Wheatley, Turning to One Another
