9 BIG Questions Schools Must Answer to Avoid Going “Back to Normal”

The chaos and uncertainty of 2020 gave education stakeholders permission to acknowledge that what may have worked for some yesterday isn’t working for anyone today.

And, if we want to create systems and structures that work for everyone, we have to identify the questions we need to answer and stay present to to avoid falling back on practices that fail to produce the outcomes we hope every child experiences along their learning journey.

Big Questions Institute offers nine grounding inquiries for consideration in its new e-book, 9 BIG Questions Schools Must Answer to Avoid Going “Back Normal.” Questions include, “What is sacred?”, “Who is unheard?”, and “Are we connected?” Each question supports the observation that “deep and powerful learning only happens when it’s relevant, real-world, collaborative, driven by inquiry and passion, and shared transparently.” If you are in a learning community that wants to create that type of learning experience for the young people you serve, this e-book will serve as a great resource for your transformation journey.
