This season of The Nest is entitled “SPAN’s Seven Bedrock Principles.” This series is intended to be a timeless & deep exploration of the human issues at stake in our schools. Given the profound challenges facing the world today, we at SPAN believe these Bedrock Principles are more important now than ever before.
​
'The Nest' is a free monthly online gathering of transitions-care providers worldwide. Grown out of the need for connection in the coronavirus crisis, we continue to join together to discuss a transitions topic with special guests in a conversation guided by Doug Ota, SPAN's Founder and 'The Nest' Host.
After the plenary session, there is time for small break-out rooms, to chat with each other around that topic, and return to the group to share more ideas. For safety and trust, the rooms and discussion afterwards are not recorded, but we do summarize the thoughts and ideas as an addendum to the main recording. ​​

PREVIEW: Great energy at our "relaunch" gathering of The Nest! Host and SPAN founder, Doug Ota, laid out momentous recent events at SPAN, and SPAN's vision for the future! We forge ahead in two areas: thought leadership and belonging!
