Digital Fishbowl

Happy Last-Week-Before-Break Monday!

Today, we have an awesome Learning Exchange 互换学习 planned! We hope you can join us on Level5 at 3:30pm. Our conversation will grow out of consideration of this quote:

人类社会不是在沉默中建立的，而是在沟通中，工作中，交流互动中建成。

The topic, for today, is applicable to everyone. We will be discussing:

• In what ways do you feel valued in this community? 
• What would you describe as the assets you bring to your team? 
• What are your hopes and dreams for yourself? 

 
We will structure our discussion as a digital fishbowl. In the centre of the fishbowl, a varied group of TAs, teachers, and leadership, who have offerred to be risk-takers and engage fully, will participate in a discussion of our questions. On the outer edge, silently watching those within the fishbowl, participants will use a shared Google document to anonymously offer insights, thoughts, questions, and ideas to the discussions. In this way we will construct a narrative around voice and value. This approach will allow us to give equal opportunity to those who feel like they want to contribute anonymously and those who feel able to speak out-loud. 

It is our intention to discover themes that may lead to actionable items for which we can design solutions together.
