Fall Meeting FAQ

Is the CLEE Fall Meeting a Meeting or a Conference?

  • It is a unique educational experience that is a meeting for in-depth learning and a conference to collaborate with fellow educators from across the world.
  • It empowers educators to improve each student’s teaching and learning experiences
  • It is time to reflect on your practice as an educator and take home new learning and facilitation skills 
  • We use collaborative protocols and processes to engage in problems of practice and give and receive feedback.

What happens at the Fall Meeting?

  • Powerful conversations, renewal of practice, and learning in a community
  • Participants spend most of their time in collaborative learning groups called Home Groups. Home Groups allow us to engage deeply and practice having complex conversations in a safe place, supported by skilled facilitators  
  • Additionally, whole group experiences at the opening and closing provide powerful community-building Fall Meeting experiences
  • Topic-based Workshops go deeper and give participants new resources on a selected topic

Is Fall Meeting for teachers, school leaders, or higher education?

  • The Fall Meeting is for ALL educators. 
  • This is your invitation to join the Fall Meeting. Having participants from multiple roles, contexts, and places are the ingredients that make Fall Meeting transformational. 
  • If you are an educator interested in collaboration, reflection, and educational equity, the Fall Meeting program is tailored for you. This includes classroom teachers, principals, district leaders, higher education, etc.

Can you tell me more about Home Groups?

At the heart of the Fall Meeting is our time together in collaborative learning groups called Home Groups. Home Groups are small groups co-facilitated by CLEE staff and practitioners in the field. They vary in size and include participants from across the country and from all areas of education. Because of the collaborative nature of our work in Home Groups, your full participation is needed, valued, and appreciated. In these groups, we’ll use CLEE/SRI tools, protocols, and other resources to create conditions for professional collaboration and reflective dialogue to flourish. 

 

Specifically, Home Groups at Fall Meeting will support us to:  

  • Surface issues of inequity, injustice, and oppression even when they may appear to be absent  
  • Examine how our assumptions and beliefs can serve to support some students and hinder the success of others  
  • Create brave and safe spaces where conversations result in action
  • Sustain commitments that lead to real change  

Home Groups are formed by the CLEE staff, and are designed with diversity in mind including racial/ethnic diversity; gender diversity; experience, and role in education. Everyone brings something unique to their Home Groups, and the purpose is to learn from and with one another to improve our practice and serve each and every student.

Should I come to the Fall Meeting if I don’t have experience with SRI/CLEE or I am unfamiliar with using protocols?

Fall Meeting brings together a wide range of educators, including variations in experience in CLEE practices. We very much welcome new colleagues, and it will be richer for all of us with you!
