Unite around a common cause -- improving the teaching and learning experiences for all -- and cast cynicism aside.","Description":"It is so difficult to keep our energy up and our optimism in the fore.  With so many progressive minded folks attending Educon and participants who work on school wide and system wide scales  as well as classroom and individual practice scales, this is an opportunity for us to share the ways in which we stay crispy and hungry.   We could kvetch for days and we will not.  We will lean into our inner Jedi, our stolid Mandolorian, and bring positive and purpose to the fore in this conversation.","Link":["https:\/\/www.crcsme.org"],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"We will use restorative circle formats to help guide these conversations as we are all in various degrees of hurt and in need of both healing and humanity.  Using a sequence of circles and a flexible design, we hope to mix and remix as many participants in the room as possible.","Presenter":["Elizabeth Firnkes","Megan Gibbs","Dan Ryder"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Community Regional Charter School"],"PresenterEmail":["efirnkes@crcsme.org","mgibbs@crcsme.org","danryder207@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":158,"ScheduleLocationID":37,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":"We would very much like to bring our little contingent from a rural Maine public charter school to learn from the diverse participants at Educon while also bringing our experiences and insights as a 12-year-old school to help others.   We are also craving the positivity of Educon.","LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":11}}
