The ISS Learning to Action Team

The Learning to Action Team is a group focused on turning knowledge into real, practical actions. They help people use what they have learned to solve problems and make positive changes. The team works together to share ideas, plan projects, and take steps to achieve goals. They believe that learning is not just about gaining information but also about using that information to improve our lives and communities. Their goal is to make learning useful and effective by connecting it directly with action and results. In today’s episode, we are joined by John Burns, Joel Llaban, and Margaret Park. John Burns is the Chief Innovation Officer at International Schools Services. Joel Llaban is the director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice at International Schools Services. Margaret Park is an educational consultant and an educational leader at International Schools Services. Joel, John, and Margaret discuss the ISS Learning to Action, if the Learning to Action is DEIJ focused, and how they get individuals to engage in the sessions. They also shed some light and powerful insights on the core-hot success rate for the past two years, what’s next for those who completed the sessions, and how participants can sign up for sessions.
