Where we live has meaning to us. It shapes who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we interact with the world around us. Having a sense of place signifies a feeling of belonging. When you find your place, you’re home.
We build regional networks to provide educators with a place to come together, connect, step back from the immediacy of the day-to-day, and see the long horizon.
We build connections to enhance teaching, learning, and leading.
At Power of Place, we design and offer professional learning experiences to help build the cultures, mindsets, and practices that support and champion all students, especially those who have been historically marginalized. Through our adaptive approach, educators connect meaningfully with one another and feel a renewed sense of efficacy, purpose, joy, and hopefulness for the future.
Power of Place is …
- Sharing a common history and geography
- Experiencing a sense of belonging
- Feeling fully present in the moment
- Realizing we have more in common with our neighbors than we assumed
- Understanding that where we live shapes us and those around us
- Recognizing that we have the capacity to influence our immediate surroundings
- Believing that there is wisdom yet to be tapped in spaces yet to be discovered
