The First Ingredient: Rising to Meet Challenges to Relationships in Fall 2020

What we have seen in our work at EXPLO Elevate over the last months has revealed the immediate, and at times existential, threats to critical school relationships. The justifiable stress accompanying significant decisions is too often chilling the relationships necessary to allow a school to preserve and deepen culture, to serve students, and to prepare for the future. Whether the issue lies in the organizational/managerial culture, change management, or classroom practice, a sort of relationship metal fatigue threatens to weaken the ties that bind a school community together. In the webinar, Ross Peters, EXPLO Elevate’s Vice-President for School Strategy, will provide context for the various threats to relationships and, most importantly, provide strategies both to remediate the challenges and move beyond them to create the good health our schools and classrooms will need to excel in the weeks and months ahead.
