4. Getting to know each other
Contribute to an engaging and impactful environment in which to exchange ideas
Most like me –
Think about someone you recognize as a true leader. Move to the image that most closely aligns with a symbolic representation of your idea of great Leadership
Move to the image that most closely aligns with the role YOU usually assume when it comes to Leadership opportunities

5. Getting to know each other
Contribute to an engaging and impactful environment in which to exchange ideas
All – Some – None
Talk within your group about some of the things you have done or traits you possess. Try to find a single leadership-related trait or experience you ALL have
Continue your discussion to determine something, leadership-related SOME of you have in common
Now describe a leadership- related trait or experience NONE of you have.

6. Determining Two Areas of Interest
SLC as a powerful voice
Collaboratively determine two areas of focus
With respect to the role of students in our district, what is something about which you want to learn more?
In which aspects of SD43 operation do you want to have more say?
In which aspects of the operation of SD43 might your input have significant impact?

7. Sort Cards
Each person should independently create a stack of cards including ideas, examples, associations of what you think could be better in SD43
Note that each contribution is on a separate card/ sticky note
Example – train of thought
More info on new curriculum
More experiences related to careers I might like
Wellness
Nutrition
How to be less stressed
Better integration of technology
More classes outside the school building

8. Round Robin Sharing
Each person briefly shares one idea from their stack at a time, unpacking just enough information to provide clarity of the concept to others
Continue round and round the group until all the ideas have been shared
Just a few seconds to share each idea – not convincing or debating. Only add/ ask questions to clarify.

9. Sort and Label
Sort the descriptors into categories that make sense to everyone in the group
Label the pile with an agreed upon title
Bring the title stickies to the large collection area
The titles from all smaller groups will be collated according to common themes
Exec members and available adults helping to categorize share and unpack the categories that surface.

10. Determining Priorities for SLC 2017
Carefully consider which heading intrigues you AND seems appropriate for SLC to work on this year
Put a yellow stickie on each of your favourite topics
Importance of members wanting to learn more about it and feeling like they can have impact; may not be YOUR favourite but tipping point of engagement is necessary

11. When this idea is successfully implemented…
What will we see and hear?
See
Hear
Time permitting; or shift to next meeting: How will we know what success is? What will be different in schools? For individuals or groups of students? What greater value is present?
