JOB-ALIKE SESSIONS Session Overview/Purpose: Participants have requested time to discuss pertinent issues and network with those who have similar job responsibilities. This time is reserved to make connections in the region and collaborate to solve similar dilemmas. A few big ideas from each discussion group will be posted on line so others across the region and state can see different perspectives and solutions to common issues.
Description: The Job-Alike session is scheduled for one hour just after lunch on the first day – 1:00-2:00 PM. Rooms will be designated for each job responsibility or role such as a room for teacher leaders, principals, directors, etc. A facilitator in each room will provide a brief introduction and directions for how the session will work. Four issues that have been identified as pertinent to the region will be posted each corner of the room as conversation starters. The same issues will be posted in every job-alike room. Participants will be invited to select the topic that is most important to them or to choose “other” which will be a topic of their choosing and they will have two more opportunities to discuss the other posted topics. A few big ideas from each conversation will be recorded and posted on line so that all participants can read the perspectives of others about the same issues.
Session Objectives:
Foster collegial relationships and strengthen the sustainable regional network of support
Listen to and provide different points of view and solutions to similar issues/challenges

Learning Outcomes:
