Episode Notes Check out the Institute For Learning’s Vision of Collaborative Work ! Here’s what Sara DeMartino says about it: “While the driver diagram was helpful in thinking through the theory of change, we found teachers and leaders, more than anything, wanted to know the role that they played in that theory and the role other members of the system were playing as well. We reviewed this document at the beginning of each year to make sure it still held, but also as a way to remind all of us that we had a stake in making change and were responsible for supporting the vision of teaching and learning that we collectively set.”…

Episode Notes Check out this video about the sIlvery blue/Xerces blue surrogacy project! The Silvery Blue/Xerces surrogacy project began with the ideas of Robert Michael Pyle, and have since included many partners. These include Robert Michael Pyle's Xerces Society , Creekside Science , and Revive and Restore . Durrell Kapan wanted to take the opportunity of these notes to say a bit more about his biology teacher Neal Maine (who threw the book out the window). Here's a note from Durrell: "It’s relevant to note that Neal's impact has been far-reaching—not only on the students he taught but also on the conservation programs he helped begin. These include the Haystack Rock Awareness program, which started with a “failed” non-game grant application I made under his tutelage that led to the city starting the program (I worked on it for two years, first as an interpreter and later as the coordinator), and the North Coast Land Conservancy, which has conserved thousands of acres of the Oregon Coast, started by Neal Maine after he retired."…
