The Center for Appreciative Organizing in Education

The Center is the hub of a national network that brings together educational stakeholders committed to a positive, strengths-based approach to the ongoing growth and development of our public education system for the betterment of their communities and the world. The Center aims to create a culture of possibility in public education. We implement this mission by actively supporting educational stakeholders in: Sharing stories of success Inquiring into their positive core Engaging in generative conversations for change Co-constructing a vision of their collective future Designing actionable pathways forward Holding themselves accountable for achieving the results they seek through self-designed internal accountability systems and metrics. The Center Core Team works with public educators across the country to contribute to this culture of possibility through local, state, and national capacity building efforts for positive, strengths-based change and innovation.
