[Ailist] Question about using the Kolbe Index

[jkriger]

Bill,
Over the past two years we have worked on creating a more functional school 
system in Pennsylvania.  The goal was to improve moral amongst staff, 
decrease bullying and acting out amongst students and improve the cultural 
competency of the district.  We used an Active Visioning model we have 
developed which incorporates many of the principals of AI and our Community 
Empowerment model, which utilizes and empowers existing systemic 
infrastructures rather then the typical program dependency response.
I hope this is helpful.
Be well!
John
