Appreciative Inquiry Theory and Practice of Seeing Systems
About Appreciative Inquiry • Both a mindset and a change tool • Mindset: Collectively uncover elements of systems that successfully produce what we are seeking setting the stage for later exploration of what we might become • Tool: Creates energy, momentum and ownership as change plans build on strengths versus deficits
Beginning Think about a time when you were most proud of the changes happening your college or organization that positively impacted student achievement gaps and/or student equity Think of a time you remember feeling excited and energized by what you were seeing and/or experiencing, because you could see progress being made.

Conversation 1: Pair Shares (15 minutes) • Tell your stories to your partner; include details, reactions, feelings and observations • Listen deeply and well; take notes for later • The quality of the conversations will impact the depth of our group reflections and knowledge generated
Conversation 2: Sharing stories (35 minutes) • Return to your tables, and take turns sharing your partners story (2 mins each story) • As a group, discuss themes in leadership practice and factors that supported change • Identify your top 5-7 • Record them on the half-sheets of paper

Reflections and What’s Next • What happened? • How might this relate to our discussions today? • What needs to come next? For your college/district? For the CCC overall?
