    Preparing for the Study Visit

    Please review the welcome packet!

    It's important to us to customize study visits to focus on topics of interest to your team. In order to develop a visit that addresses your team's interests, a professional development leader will contact your team leader once you complete the registration form.

    You and your team may wish to meet or talk prior to the Study Visit to ensure that everyone is clear on location, transportation, and your school goals. We highly suggest that you read the Windows on Conversions case study and list out questions you and your team have. You will have time to ask your questions of teachers, administrators, and students at Hillsdale. Finally, it will be helpful for your team to identify its areas of interests and priorities in your school that Hillsdale’s experience and lessons could inform.

    Pre-Event Reading:

  • If you have any further questions, please email or phone Alethea Andree: 650.723.7331.

 

New Insights from the Study Visit

 

"I saw that once administration sees itself as a partner (and not top-down administrators) an SLC can truly become effective. When the administration sincerely shares decisionmaking, then an SLC can truly emerge."

 

"[Hillsdale staff] are truly awesome! I am highly impressed by their willingness to try and their openness and flexibility regarding what's possible. They have given me great hope about what's possible and our collective future as a society."
