event.

Table Teams of 6-8Table Teams stay together for almost the entire event. They manage their own team’s work.

Judy facilitates the large group activities for the duration of the event.

Data….LOTS of data!The table teams generate data that is all

recorded and posted on the walls.

Data about the past…

What is working and what is not…

…and what we can expect in the future.

Table Team VisionsThen the table teams create their

SHARED vision for the future of education in their schools.

Teams share their vision with the larger group in engaging and

creative ways.

The whole event is geared to discover a common vision upon

which people can agree.

Common Themes for the Future

Finally a shared vision begins to emerge. These major themes will later form the foundation of a

strategic plan for education.

Everything is recorded, saved, and eventually made public in a Future Search
