Скачать или смотреть Tara Thompson on Meaningful Conversations Leading to Better Results with ThoughtExchange

Broken Arrow Public Schools uses ThoughtExchange to bring parent voice into every conversation—from tough topics like bell times to fun ones like naming a mascot. The result: better dialogue and stronger community connections.

In Oklahoma, parent voice has become a vital part of education conversations. At Broken Arrow Public Schools, leaders are using ThoughtExchange to bring that voice to the forefront—on everything from bell times and calendars to school culture and even naming a new mascot.

For Tara Thompson, Chief Communications Officer, the platform makes it easy to gather meaningful input from the entire community. Instead of the “loudest voices” dominating, ThoughtExchange gives everyone a chance to participate and see the full range of perspectives—often leading to richer, more surprising, and more productive conversations.

Whether the topic is challenging or fun, Broken Arrow finds that ThoughtExchange leads to better dialogue and better results for the district and its families.

Transcript:
In Oklahoma right now, parent voice is a very important part of the conversation and so with ThoughtExchange, again, it allows us to have those conversations on a variety of topics. It could be bell times. It could be, the calendar. When are we going to observe in the fall break? Lots of things like that that we want our community feedback on. And it could even be fun things. And we're looking at possibly naming a mascot soon. And so it really just gives us the ability to have those meaningful conversations in an organized manner. Whether it's a tough topic or whether it's something a little bit more fun, it just gives us the platform that we need to let everyone join the conversation and not just have the loud voices dominate, but really give everyone a chance to chime in and be exposed to thoughts that they might be surprised are held within their own community. We've seen that a lot in some of these conversations that people are surprised to find out that their neighbors have a different opinion from them, and that's okay. It leads to a richer conversation. And I think in the end, better results for whatever problem we're tackling.
