Thanks to everyone who joined us at our Incubate to Innovate Parent Night yesterday! in case you missed it, we talked about Adaptive Capacity, which is the ability to adjust, cope, and creatively problem solve.
After parents discussed challenges in raising children today, i2i presented on the need for Adaptive Capacity. They also shared ways to use their ChangeMaker Mindsets in the home and provided families with a toolkit that can be used by all ages. This provides common language as these mindsets are also used in classrooms at Central.
Representatives from i2i shared, "It is fun to sing the praises of the district and promote your brand and story!"
