School Design Team Conditions

We’ve learned just how crucial conditions are for a design team's success, and we believe they boil down to the following:

Individual Conviction: A deep personal belief in the importance and potential of the work, fueling engagement and prioritization.
Individual Capacity: The knowledge, skills, time, and commitment needed to carry out the work successfully.
School Design Team Conviction: A shared belief within the team that drives engagement and prioritizes the work.
School Design Team Capacity: The collective knowledge, skills, time, and commitment required for success.
Whole School Community Conviction: A community-wide belief in the work’s importance that encourages engagement and prioritization.
Whole School Community Capacity: The support and resources available within the community to carry out the work.

These elements are essential for fostering a supportive environment that drives effective transformation and enhances student outcomes.
