Dignity-Centered Design in a Postnormal Era

Technology today is evolving at a pace we can’t fully grasp and our ability to think creatively about what is happening around us is a challenge. Some say we are living in a "postnormal era," others describe the world as “VUCA” (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous). Whatever the description, institutional systems feel unsteady and the world feels unfamiliar.

This moment calls us to think expansively. It asks us to be bold in what we imagine for ourselves and in how we choose to operate in the world. What might be possible if we centered dignity in our decision-making each day and in the world we are building? What might be possible if we made a deep and unwavering commitment to each person’s dignity, including our own?

Join us for a 1.5-day retreat created just for educators who want to get to the heart of that question. Together, we’ll step away from the grind of policies, standards, and metrics to reconnect with the why behind our work so that we can envision new ways to do it.

This workshop isn’t about checking boxes or finding the perfect framework. It’s about imagining, reflecting, and dreaming with others who care deeply about the human experience at the center of education.

* registration fee includes breakfast + lunch each day & an optional Friday happy hour.
