STEM in San Diego: Resources & Needs

The purpose of this convening will be to collectively explore the current state of STEM in the region, identify STEM resources/partners and discuss STEM needs in the greater San Diego area. We hope that by bringing important stakeholders together we can host a cohesive conversation about the importance of approaching STEM in San Diego through a multifaceted lens. STEM is much more than education, it is the fastest growing workforce sector, a booming industry in San Diego and provides ample opportunity for upward mobility - especially among for those from underrepresented backgrounds.

Culture, Climate & Communication

From leadership visioning to day-to-day operations and interpersonal interactions, communication is at the core of everything we do in schools, and has the power to make or break culture and climate. Yet it's rare that we talk about it explictly. This workshop will give you the chance to do that by visually mapping how communications flow through your system while learning with others as they do the same. You'll be amazed to discover how even just one change can dramatically impact productivity, engagement and your overall culture.
