We Used Collaborative Inquiry to Meet Challenges DEFINE Posing DISCOVER Appreciating DREAM Envisioning DESIGN Co-Constructing DELIVER Sustaining Collaborative – Thinking & working on problems to solve together, Ongoing evaluating & realigning Appreciative – Valuing the best people; Affirming past & present strengths, successes, potentials Creative – Problem posing; Playful possibilities; Consider feeling- thoughts; Construct together

Each PDS has a site-council comprised of the ESU Liaison, Building Liaison, Principal and teachers. Liaisons meet with ESU faculty for Professional Development (twice a year) and ongoing communication. The Coordinating Council meets to discuss our PDS partnership three times per year. Systematic Collaboration

Our Shared “Essentials”  Re define the problem…problem-posing  Re affirm trust: what is working, successful, new directions, empowering ideas  Re connect Goals: District, ESU, PDS Essentials  Multiple Re designs to address PDS/ESU needs  Re visit expectations: Program, Levels, Individual  Openness to Re build and Evaluate impact  Re new commitment – Embrace more individuals
