Building The Future of Education
Ulcca supports educators, systems leaders and advocates working to transform education to re-conceptualize the challenge and adopt an emergent theory of change so they have new tools with which to engage in the conversations and the work
Too often we jump into problem-solving mode without ever stepping back to see the bigger picture.
As teachers, we dive into curriculum and content without first making space for relationships and cultivating a sense of belonging.
As systems-leaders we design policies, programs, efficiencies without first considering the needs of the people within those systems.
As parents, we struggle to help our children navigate and master an educational labyrinth that we barely understand – and that is increasingly misaligned with the world they will encounter beyond their formal education.
Here’s my invitation to you: Pause. Breathe. And let’s explore a new set of questions together.
