Build a School Manifesto with Karine Veldhoen (Summit Teaser)

This is a teaser for the Transformative Leadership Summit, launching July 30, with a free ticket at transformativeleadershipsummit.com. Karine Veldhoen explains how her school wrote a compelling manifesto that clarifies who the community is, in place of a traditional vision, mission or continuous improvement plan. Her process began by consulting every stakeholder group: teachers and students first, then parents and outside community members, then the school board and all support staff. Everyone could describe their lived experience and the community they wanted to be part of. The words being and becoming sit right in the manifesto. What you'll learn Ask teachers, students, parents, community members, the school board and support staff what community they want before you write a vision. Write your vision so it reads as compelling and reflects your sacred work with children. Use the writing process to clarify who you are as a community.
