Envisioning Your Future:

Alright, team, let's keep our time machine warmed up! After rediscovering why we got into education, let’s now turn our focus to when you first joined this district. It's like opening a time capsule, isn't it? In this lesson, we’re not just reminiscing; we're on a quest to uncover the heartfelt reasons that brought you here and how they'll shape our future vision.

So, let's dive in. Why did you choose to join our district? Was it the practicalities like the commute or salary, or perhaps something about the community itself? This is a safe space for real talk – every reason, every truth matters here.

Remember, the choices we make are often a tapestry of different reasons. Acknowledging these diverse motivations can offer us a rich, multifaceted perspective.

I invite you, one by one, to share a reason for joining our district. This isn't just about facts; it's about the feelings and experiences behind your decision. Whether it was for practical reasons, personal aspirations, or something else entirely, your honesty is a gift to all of us.

For the "Bosses" or "Key Stake Holder" in the room, what you hear may not be what you "Want" to hear, but it is what you "Need" to hear. To truly make an impact on the future of your district you need an honest understanding of where you are coming from.

As we listen to each story, let's reflect on how these reasons resonate with our own experiences. How do they align or differ from your initial expectations or hopes for the district?

Every story shared today adds a layer of depth to your understanding of who you are as a district. These aren't just reasons; they're the real-life experiences that shape your collective journey.

By embracing these truths, we’re paving the way for a vision statement that’s not only aspirational but also deeply connected to the lived experiences of our team.

Thank you for being so open and honest. It’s these genuine responses that will help us craft a vision statement that truly resonates with everyone’s experiences and expectations.
