ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

The purpose of this summit is to bring together education experts and practitioners with experience working within and beyond systems, with networks and professional resources that enable action at nearly all levels of the ecological systems surrounding schools. The goal of this summit is to create (a) a comprehensive list of common barriers school systems face that both contribute to poor well-being and prevent amelioration, (b) actionable steps that individuals beyond the summit group could engage in for their own school districts, (c) draw upon the unique knowledge, skills, and resources of the summit attendees to engage in for their local systems to test strategies and tactics, and (d) form a coalition of individual actors for ongoing support in making those changes.
