Cohort Three: Building Resilient SDE Community
This purchase is for the Guided Cohort for The ASDE Compendium: Building Resilient Community. For more information on the guided cohorts, see our main info page here.
Meeting Dates: Apr 12 • Apr 26 • May 17
Meeting Times: 12-130pm Eastern Time
SDE thrives in community—and building that community takes intention. In this cohort, we explore the structures, cultures, and practices that are central to SDE communities (centers and schools). Topics include conflict engagement, decision-making, iteration, and building strong and sustainable culture. Founders and staff get honest about the real struggles, challenges, and deep transformations that have happened for them and others in SDE communities. This cohort is perfect for folks who want to start, transform, or strengthen SDE communities.
