We are excited to gather with the CLEE community tomorrow for Fall Meeting and reconnect around learning from student work, collaborative leadership and the work that brings us together: improving outcomes for students.

If you cannot join us in person, there are still opportunities to connect, contribute and learn with the CLEE community this year.

CLEE Community Insight Lab

Practice a process for learning from your community, turning insights into action, and help shape what comes next at CLEE!

About two years ago, CLEE community members gathered with Danny Warshay’s See, Solve, Scale process and looked closely at the experiences and needs of the people we serve. We are reconvening that work and inviting new voices to join us.

This free, three-part virtual gathering is both a chance to contribute to the CLEE community and to learn a process you can use in your own work. Together, we will practice a Bottom-Up Research approach for gathering perspectives, identifying needs and patterns, testing ideas, and learning from what happens.

Between sessions, you will gather observations from your own community, bring them back to make meaning with colleagues, and use what you learn to inform a small action or experiment. Along the way, you will gain an approach you can use to better understand needs and inform decisions in your own school, organization, or community.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Learn and practice a Bottom-Up Research process you can use in your own context
• Bring your experiences and observations into a broader CLEE community conversation
• Learn from what colleagues are seeing across different schools , organizations, and communities
• Identify patterns and needs, test ideas, and learn from what happens
• Help inform CLEE’s continued learning and direction
