Challenging the status quo. Innovating educational and institutional practices. Confronting your own thinking. Affecting authentic, systemic change. None of these things can happen without having critical and meaningful conversations with your colleagues. But where to start? In Poking the Bear, Dave and Katelynn take on some of the most controversial or taboo questions posed in education. But the aim is not to provide a step-by-step, one size fits all solution. Instead, the goal is to create a spark that inspires you to engage. They offer two unique experiences to provide a starting point for your own thinking and a launchpad for you to engage in the conversations that matter most. Then, you too can Poke the Bear.
