Convening

This unique learning experience, co-designed with Stanford d.school partners, included site visits to area schools and highlighted NGLC’s co-host, the Remake Learning network. Outcomes for participants:

• Feel... Connected + Engaged
• Understand... New and age-old network thinking + How it applies to your work
• Act... Apply new network thinking to your work + Design toward increasing equity
• Make... Contribute stories and assets to express how network design can shape learning shifts for equity.

Build Connections

The learning experience was facilitated by nationally-recognized network leaders and designers. They helped guide and shape participant dialogue, design sessions, and our collective network thinking.

• Curtis Ogden, Interaction Institute for Social Change
• Lydia Dobyns, New Tech Network
• Xiomara Padamsee, Promise54
• Josh Schachter, CommunityShare
• Sunanna Chand and Gregg Behr, Remake Learning

Convening resources from these connections, and others, are available on the Network Principles and Network Resources pages of this microsite. New resources and new ideas emerging from the convening will continue to be added.
