"Intention Statement" by presenter . . .
Stakeholders: How might others view this situation?
Envision an ecosystem (e.g. 'prototype') integrating the “head”, “heart”,
and “hands” of its participants in “empowering” the community!

11. “What Caused the Crime Decline” (pg. 40)
Stakeholders: . . . empowering the community!
“Virginia has the third lowest violent
crime rate in the nation.144 Despite
this, the state has the nation’s 13th
highest incarceration rate,145 with one
of every 89 adults incarcerated . . .
. . . As Figure 18 shows, the
effectiveness of increased incarceration
in Virginia has decreased steadily since
1980, when Virginia had 8,920
prisoners. Around 2000, it reached its
lowest levels of effectiveness —
essentially zero.” from, “
What Caused the Crime Decline?”
Exercising State Control . . .

12. “

” YouTube video
Stakeholders: . . . empowering the community!
"Our research results need to be
replicated before we can be certain that
our conclusions are valid, but we think
the public has a right to know what
we’ve observed because if our data are
correct, our public schools may be
pursuing an instructional agenda that’s
reducing the average child’s ability to
reach his or her full developmental
potential.” from an introductory
narrative to "
When testing is not for learning: The story of Sheila & Letty
".

"Intention Statement" by presenter . . .
Intention: What future are we trying to create?
We're creating a future where communities comprised of critical learners are
adequately empowered to sustain social justice and economic equity.

14. “Making Change Improvement and
Progress”
Intention: . . . communities sustaining social justice and economic equity.
Leading in the emerging
future . . .
“The organizations that will
lead in the future are
prepared to employ both the
hearts and minds of their
teams. They know that the
only true security lies in
change and continuous
improvement.” from “Making
Change Improvement and
Progress”

15. “Inequality for All”
Intention: . . . communities sustaining social justice and economic equity.
“We’re in the biggest economic
slump since the Great Depression,
and we can’t seem to get out of it.
Why? Because, exactly as in the
1920s, so much of the nation’s
income and wealth are going to
the top, that the vast middle class
doesn’t have the purchasing
power to keep the economy
going.” from, “Inequality for All”
Inequality for All . . .

Learning threshold: What do we need to let-go of . . . and
what do we need to learn?
We need to let go of our “usual” ways of ‘knowing’ and ‘being’ and
learn to connect more deeply with others!

17. Learning Threshold: . . . we need to learn to connect more deeply with others.
