"One Finger Cannot Lift a Pebble" (Hopi Proverb): The Power of Collaborative Systems

Our theme for this meeting is 'One Finger Cannot Lift a Pebble' (Hopi Proverb): The Power of Collaborative Systems. The Collaborative is built on the notion that collaboration is key to our work, and in this meeting we’ll dig deeper into the concept. Collaboration comes in many forms and we want to learn as much as we can from each other. What collaborative relationships have helped you do your work and helped your district move towards more equitable and inclusive practices? What are some lessons you have learned that might help others?
