WMWP Project Outreach Reflective Letter

to assess the year’s work and solicit questions and feedback
from the WMWP Board as we work towards a plan of action

At almost every meeting this year, one of us asked, “What are we doing again?” “Is this going anywhere?” “How will we know what to do from here?” The nature of inquiry and staying in an inquiry stance is to live with more questions than there are answers. We know that as we move into our action year, we expect that there will continue to be many questions that arise to guide our work. The time we have been able to work with you, the Executive Board, has been invaluable. Our Project Outreach Local Leadership Team (LLT) has appreciated the openness and curiosity with which you have approached this work. We know that as we move into action, the Executive Board will continue to be willing participants in reshaping the WMWP so greater (access and relevance) diversity can be achieved and sustained.

To summarize the year we went through a process of charting. We started by revisiting our Inquiry Questions: What are the needs of teachers of students who live in communities impacted by poverty? What kinds of programs and course offerings will best support the needs of teachers who work with the underserved? These questions represent the two levels of work that the PO group has experienced over this past year.
