We need to think about...
Meeting to create, rather than inform
How we can make unimaginable possibilities more likely
It was suggested that perhaps our school's learning model can help us.
What is diversity?
How can we help people to think and act collaboratively? Diversity can support this with enabling different ideas to come to the table. It will enable us to see things in a variety of ways. Diversity amongst people causes conflict. This is good! Acknowledging conflict is necessary if we are to raise an awareness of collective intelligence.
Safe to fail probes:
It's safe to fail, rather than fail safe
- Name of experiment:
- Description of experiment:
- Rationale for experiment: why might it work?
- Indications of success: think creatively - rather than quantitative data from tests; what different perspectives might there be, e.g from Learners, LC or parents?
- Indications of failure: what is going wrong? why might it need to be stopped?
- Amplification strategy:
- Recovery / Dampening strategy:
Went through 3 rounds of 'ritual dissent' - pitching our idea to a team who showed no sign of positivity. Having time to take their feedback, make changes then go and pitch to another team.
Ended with one round of 'ritual accent' where the person was given positive feedback to then share with their own team.
I can see this method being extremely helpful when you want to quickly plan an idea of change. It provides opportunities for other groups to listen and think only of the negative or omitted points in the plan. This procedure enables the planner to think carefully how they describe their idea and whether all what they are thinking is put down in the outlines of the plan.
