This example is shared by Jennie Snyder, Deputy Superintendent for the Instructional Services Division at the Sonoma County Office of Education (SCOE). In Spring 2021 schools were beginning to reopen for the first time in over a year, Jennie’s team was hearing educators in the county referencing "returning to normal" -- some longed to return; others expressed concerns about returning. Jennie facilitated a reflective conversation with the team focused on a key question: "What do we want to grow?" They used the Iceberg to capture their aspirations and vision for students. Shared here are the different versions of the Iceberg that were generated alongside a compilation of the ideas generated.
