Coconut Thinking is an advisory that supports schools and learning organizations to co-create, co-develop, co-stress test, and co-implement ideas that nurture the conditions for emergent learning. Coconut Thinking believes that learning reaches its highest quality when it contributes to the thriving bio-collective—all life that has an interest in the healthfulness of the planet.This might include: leading workshops; creating and implementing professional development initiatives; serving as a critical friend on projects, initiatives, and plans; collaborating on endeavors that liberate learning; bouncing ideas about what might just be possible; and anything else that takes us toward more regenerative ways of becoming. We also connect schools with practitioners, artists, and industry experts to create collaborative spaces that respond to contextual challenges: learning together through contribution to the bio-collective, shoulder to shoulder across generations.We can help you with:• Strategy, implementation and systems evaluation • Ideation and creativity support (and coaching)• Faculty and staff professional development • Student initiatives and leadership
