Participants will learn how schools move through experience phases—recovery, stability, and belonging—and why culture and equity efforts stall when foundational conditions are missing. Attendees will identify indicators of each phase and examine how communication clarity, system consistency, and leadership behaviors shape psychological safety. The session is highly interactive, beginning with a brief self-reflection to help participants locate their school’s current experience phase, followed by small-group dialogue to surface patterns and insights across contexts. Guided discussion will encourage peer learning and normalize shared challenges. Participants will leave with one concrete action to strengthen stability in their setting and a simple reflection tool to continue evaluating experience conditions after the summit, extending learning beyond the session into daily leadership practice.
