It’s easy for others to understand us incorrectly.

At times this is because we’re speaking from different quadrants or perspectives.

In this episode we introduce Ken Wilber’s quadrants as an analytical tool to help us specify which particular aspects of school we are addressing in our discussions. Simply put it helps us navigate whether we are addressing a topic from a 1st person 2nd person or 3rd person perspective.

Distinguishing which topics must be addressed in each quadrant will help us distinguish nuance from noise in future episodes.

upper left quadrants: Response & Beliefs

lower left quadrants: Culture & Communities

upper right quadrants: Resources & Activities

lower right quadrants: Environment & Systems
