Well done - excellent discussions don't let it die!!!
I enjoyed both the format and discussions. Please continue!
Productive process! (has positive implication for the classroom as well)
Before implementing changes, collect from students their perception on the impact of these changes on their overall educational plan or process. For example - will the change facilitate or hinder the student's movement into a university or career?
Interesting format for open dialogue, thanks!!
I enjoyed the open discussion format. It was disappointing not to have more faculty here to participate.
I'm curious about next steps and how to go beyond "preaching" to the choir. How will new folks become engaged?
Excellent facilitation, good risk taking. Thank you.
I participated fully, was tired by the end of the afternoon and wondered what I learned as part of the process.
I really liked the structure and the openness.
Modeled new behaviors that we profess. We lived through the beginning 'chaos' - it can be done. Marybeth Mason, great job.
Should have been more staff involved as well as numerous campuses.
Good facilitator; conversational style; accessible; authentic. Process - interactive and participatory. I did not learn anything new.
A great format for dialogue. Very interesting insights and concepts, even though the group was smaller than I had anticipated - lots of energy - wonderful. Looking forward to the next one.
Just as in Naomi's EDU 250 - it's nice to see "practice what you preach" happening. (A complete learner paradigm)
I thought Open Space was a unique way of making the participants responsible for creating the environment. I really liked the group (small) sharing and then the larger group.
This was a beginning - but we need to implement action.
The discussions were excellent. It would have helped me to have more focus.
I always leave gatherings of this sort feeling that no fundamental changes have been made. I think we just need to do it.
I want action. Our district is innovative and there are many exciting initiatives. I do not know if all the "butterflies are flying in the same direction."
