ThoughtExchange Fall engagement

Quality education focus of fall 2015 ThoughtExchange community engagement
Walla Walla Public Schools is conducting its second community engagement activity with ThoughtExchange this fall to learn more about views on quality education. The ThoughtExchange process is driven by the thoughts and opinions of the community to help shape the direction and priorities of the district over the next three years.

Parents, staff, students and community members will have an opportunity to “Join the Conversation” via this online learning process beginning Oct. 6 through Oct. 16. Parents, staff and those who sign up for Enews will receive an email inviting them to engage. Community members and students will have the opportunity to self-register by visiting the district website (www.wwps.org) and clicking on the ThoughtExchange logo. This process is available in English and Spanish.

Fall 2015 ThoughtExchange questions
Question 1: What are some examples of experiences your child or a child you know has had at Walla Walla Public Schools that illustrates what quality education means to you?

Question 2: What are some opportunities you feel would contribute to quality education that are not available for students right now?

ThoughtExchange Process:
- It is a three-step process. Stakeholders begin by sharing their thoughts online. Then each participant has the opportunity to review and star the thoughts of other ThoughtExchange contributors. The benefit of the process is discovering what the community values.
- The process is confidential. The names and email addresses of participants will never be publicly associated with a thought or response. However, participants will see each other’s thoughts.
- If the school district has your email address (parents, staff, Enews recipients), you will receive a customized invitation. If you don’t receive an invitation, you can visit the Walla Walla Public Schools home page at www.wwps.org to self-register.
- Results of the process will be shared with the public in late November.
