Thinking Outside the Box: How Collaborative Knowledge Teams Transform Learning

"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." - Martin Luther King Jr.

When intelligent, considerate, and well-educated colleagues get together to brainstorm with a common goal of improving learning experiences and expanding opportunities for students, it's a truly uplifting day. A room full of people who are concerned about the long-term success of students, families, and communities is energizing.

These discussions frequently go beyond conventional methods, creating room for original ideas, sincere introspection, and creative problem-solving especially by thinking outside of the status quo box. Innovation is made possible and best practices naturally arise when people are comfortable challenging one another and sharing their opinions.

Real progress starts to take hold during these times of positive, proactive, empowering collaboration for change.
