Share Back With Your Community
After synthesizing the vision crafted by students, the next step is to share this vision with the broader community.
Open and regular communication is key to building strong support and ensuring everyone is informed about the students’ aspirations for your school’s future. By engaging in this ongoing dialogue, you can foster transparency, trust, and a sense of collective ownership in bringing this vision to life.
Use this Inspiration Summary Template to capture and organize your key insights from the student vision.
To ensure these insights resonate with your community, consider sharing them in various formats, such as a parent/caregiver newsletter, a parent/caregiver night presentation, or during a district meeting. Each venue offers an opportunity to engage different stakeholders, build momentum, and solidify the collective commitment to reimagining your school.
