The challenging conditions vexing some school districts are not an accident. What's the blueprint on how best to move from vitriol/white noise to meaningful, insightful, and creative engagement that builds on the collective genius of your stakeholders?

Why school communities--in fact all communities and orgs--often struggle to cultivate consistent, constructive, and cohesive stakeholder engagement and collaboration. How many of these barriers look familiar to you and how might you overcome them?

On a scale of 1-10, how well-synthesized are you with your school district's internal/external stakeholders?
The chart below might help. Where on the continuum below do you see your district?

Safe, constructive online engagement vs. social media are often two very different things for school districts, according to our research on optimizing online engagement. Our chart depicts where many school districts are and why, and where they aspire to get to and how.

Yes @ChrisQuinn64 agree! I've always framed this premise on two conditions with ALL kids:
1. I believe in you (per below).
2. You can do better (set a culture of expecting great things so they begin to expect great things from themselves).

This post about helping ALL kids dream big and believing in them and supporting them unconditionally to realize their dreams has been resonating deeply with so many different kinds of people that I thought I'd share it here.
