Poet and educator Lucille Clifton said, "We cannot create what we cannot imagine." In order to live and lead for liberation, we must create space for dream design that translates to meaningful transformation for our students, our schools, our communities, and ourselves. When we root our imagination in love and justice, we increase the possibilities for collaborative action, loving accountability, and lasting freedom. In this workshop you will explore how to liberate your body, mind, and education community. Participants will walk away with a 7P Pathway to manifest their Freedom Dreams. Come as you are, stay open to discovery so we can get and stay FREE!

Using an operational framework consisting of Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle, Michael Fullan’s Coherence, the CA MTSS Framework, Malsowe’s Hierarchy of Needs and the CA EL Roadmap, the Delhi USD team refined the Local Control Accountability Plan to facilitate a comprehensive approach to improvement science. Delhi USD uses board transparency and accessibility, multiple tiers of community engagement, and regular collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data to ensure that their district priorities and LCAP address the needs of their community.
Participants will learn how the Delhi USD leadership and governance team leveraged an integrated approach to create a strong core instructional program that uses the principles of improvement science to establish true community schools that monitor progress through transparency and inclusive decision-making.
