Conversations to Build Capacity

Educators engage in professional conversations around an educational topic, facilitated by a Mentor, where each participant matters.

There are various formats because #ConversationsBuildCapacity.

Conversations to Build Capacity aim to be what they are named. These conversations help participants learn from the Mentor about a new idea, skill, or tool, and they help the community learn from each other through conversation formats including:

Circle Conversations
Responsive Presentations
Casual Conversation
Carousels of Conversation

Circle Presentations

Circles are conversations facilitated by one of our Mentors around an education-related topic but shaped by “who is in the room”. Everyone’s camera is on so that can take a seat t the table of conversation.

Participants join Circles using their video and audio to engage in conversations facilitated by a Mentor

Circles are limited to 10 participants plus the host

Registration is required (*sessions are not recorded*)

Responsive Presentations

Responsive Presentations are delivered by one of our Mentors who present on an education-related topic while engaging participants in conversations that invite them to ask questions, share ideas, and drive their learning.

Participants use audio (video is optional) to engage in a responsive presentation delivered by a Mentor

Responsive Presentations are limited to 20 participants plus the host

Registration is required (*sessions are not recorded*)

Casual Conversation

Drop in for a Casual Conversation. Join Dr. Teri Rubinoff who provides a place to talk any and all things EDU. Check the newsletter for dates. No registration is required.

Carousel of Conversation

A Carousel of Conversation is an event where participants can hear from a selection of Mentors (usually 3) about an educational topic and get to raise questions and ask the educators their questions. It’s a great way for participants to hear form and engage with a few educators.
