Manage Strategic Change
Some problems will never be solved. Social injustice, poverty, prejudice and greed have always been with us, and they will never go away. It may seem counterintuitive, but such a realization can bring hope. If a solution is impossible, we can be free to explore lots of promising possibilities. We can see, and begin to shift, the patterns within and between our intractable problems. We can discover many ways to shift those patterns toward new opportunities and positive pathways.

Radical Rules for Schools provides a path for seeing, understanding, and influencing the dynamics that shape patterns of generative teaching and learning. Using the principles of human systems dynamics, this practical book helps build adaptive capacity for individuals and groups. The rules change behaviors, and the behaviors transform patterns as educators adapt to the challenges and changes they face today. The authors recommend a short list of simpleyet radicalrules to guide decision making and action to set conditions for generative teaching and learning for students, faculty, administrators, boards, and families.

Anxiety and anger emerge easily in chaos and uncertainty. Social media and our own experiences demonstrate the emotional and cognitive risks of living in turbulent times. How do you celebrate life in times of trouble? The HSD Community embraces this Simple Rule to remind us that nothing is intractable. No matter the circumstances, we can stand in inquiry, engage in Adaptive Action, and find some next wise action to shift patterns toward greater health and coherence. In this workshop, we explore the root of hope and celebration that we share as individuals and as a whole community.
