FIRST PRINCIPLES On Education
®
The Foundations Colloquium
Rigorous dialogue for leaders ready to apply First Principles to challenges and possibilities with objectivity.
THE FOUNDATIONS COLLOQUIUM -
BEGINS WITH THIS FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION…
What is education? It's a question that shouldn't need asking - yet the answer is so often assumed. Answering it, and two more guiding questions, is what makes everything that follows possible.
What is education?
A question often assumed unnecessary to ask.
Day 1:
Foundations, Discovery and Emerging Priorities
What is the purpose of education?
Education has no boundaries - your organisation does.
Education has purpose, meaning and impact. Examination begins with language and how it shapes thought and action
What does success look like?
The question that makes every decision either logical or arbitrary.
Day 2:
Consistent Principles. Distinct Outcomes.
Education has purpose, meaning and impact. Examination begins with language and how it shapes thought and action
“You have provided clear insight into how we can consider a phased transition across independent schools. Thanks again for inspiring me to think!”
Education Advisor (UK)
“Having members of the board attend with staff has provided the missing link we have been searching for, for decades!”
K-12 Principal (QLD)
“This has provided the clarity for better understanding how to provide my unique services to my clients. We do have the same foundation with distinct value.”
RISK ADVISORY (VIC)
“Our leadership team left saying : we needed to have this conversation years ago.”
Head of School (UK)
