IDEA Region 9
Starting a conversation!

This is not the same as meeting in person….but here are some questions I would love to get personal answers for. I will try to answer them myself soon too. Please if you know anyone that I should be talking to in the NW area, California, or Hawaii or Alaska Please let me know! Or if you want to talk to me also I would love it….

Here are some questions! Thanks in advance!

  • When you think about what is going on for youth, families, and schools … what is working well?
  • What the skills, tools, and values youth will need to navigate well the next 20 years?
  • On a scale of 0 to 5, how well our the current environments youth are learning in providing those? What, if anything needs to change?
  • If you could spend 10 million on transforming what is happening in your area, what would you do?
  • What matters most to you?
  • If lots of folks seem to agree that something different needs to be happening, and that does seem to be the case, what keeps significant meaningful change from taking place?
  • I’m going to sharing back what I’m learning from folks about their views on what is happening and what is needed, is there anything else you want to share with me?
  • Would you be interested in gathering with other folks to hear back what I’ve learned after I’ve met with lots of people?
