Colleagues of the Round Table: Addressing Wicked Problems in Learning Design
Interactive Roundtable Experience (Facilitated Dialogue + Design Lab)Friday, October 30, 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Limited capacity. RSVP required.
Education is not short on ideas — it is short on aligned action and honest conversation. “Colleagues of the Round Table” is a live, participatory forum designed to surface the real conversations education leaders need but rarely have in public settings. This session dissolves the traditional boundary between panel and audience, inviting participants into a structured experience of peer-to-peer dialogue, challenge, and debate.
Using pre-session input from attendees, the session centers on authentic tensions shaping future-ready learning: innovation versus accountability, AI acceleration versus instructional readiness, and student well-being versus performance pressures. Participants engage in facilitated roundtable discussions, followed by cross-table exchanges that disrupt echo chambers and broaden perspective.
Structured debate protocols will guide participants through positioning, evidence-building, counterargument, and perspective-shifting, ensuring rigor and equity of voice. Rather than seeking premature consensus, the session prioritizes clarity — helping leaders identify what they believe, where tensions persist, and what that means for action. The goal is to leave with a co-developed Future-Ready Learning Blueprint, including design principles, priority tensions, and immediate next steps. More importantly, leave with sharper thinking, grounded in the collective intelligence of your peers.
