To create environments where all learners thrive, there is immense potential in working closely with people who share a common vision.
But creating that vision takes a massive amount of effort to ensure relationships are strong and trusting, the environment is safe, innovation and the exploration of diverse ideas is supported, and risk taking is celebrated.
Take a look at the video Casteller. It is exceptional in its demonstration of collaboration, trust and the realisation of a common purpose.
Casteller from Mike Randolph on Vimeo.
It has prompted me to think about how we support the development of a common vision, a shared purpose in schools/classrooms and organisations of every sort.
What are your thoughts on the common vision in your work place?
