A1: To me, a think tank is a group of educators coming together around a shared, intentional goal and are willing to explore, think outside the box and innovate together for the sake of our students. #WhatisSchool
A1 think tanks are groups of people or organizations that work together to solve key issues and advise governing bodies on ways to improve and implement. #whatisschool
Hi Jennifer! To me as a future educator, a think tank is a chance for teachers to pool together to come up with ideas for their room. Collaboration is key for a think thank. #whatisschool
A1 I think the idea of a think tank is to create an environment in which a variety of exotic thinkers swim around in one another's ideas. #whatisschool That sounds about right...
A1: Think tanks are designed to develop and aggregate high quality research on refined issues and provide data driven recommendations. However they are often politically charged and bias #whatisschool
A1: Think tank= a space for taking risks, listening, gaining new perspectives. Itβs a space to think outside the box and problem solve with expert stakeholders from a variety of areas. #whatisschool
A1: I always thought a Think Tank was a group of knowledgeable people who meet to share research, ideas, & do group brainstorming. A problem-solving posse. #whatisschool
Inspire everybody, listen to each other, asking further thinking questions, initiate new and provokative things, get knowledgeable and risk the change. #whatisschool
