Full course description

Learning Group Description:

Education is a shared, communal experience that is sensitive to the dynamics of organizational culture and climate. Within that space, the spoken and unspoken beliefs, values, norms, and rituals of communities, organizations, schools, and networks have the capacity to amplify conscientious and transformative practices; conversely, an organization’s culture can derail and suppress even the most comprehensive and compelling efforts to support human flourishing. In this PLC, participants will explore the intersection of organizational culture, climate, and formative education, and identify and articulate leverage points for harnessing organizational culture to shift and shape practices of formative education. This PLC is ideal for educators working in a variety of educational contexts, and particularly those serving in or aspiring to serve in leadership capacities.

This learning group will meet virtually on Thursdays from 7:00 - 8:15 PM (EST) from October 12 to November 20, 2023.
