Every voice matters. Every idea has value.
Together, we build understanding — one dialogue at a time.

Our small group of alumni & retirees had a lovely conversation tonight for #NationalPaideiaSeminarDay. We discussed the poem Shoulders by Naomi Shihab Nye. Let’s take care of each other! #JoyAtSchool @paideiacenter.bsky.social

Behind them is the slide with the seminar follow up that contains an image of a related art print (Father and Child by John Wilson). Seminar circle from the point of view of the facilitator. In the foreground is the seminar plan, the poem (Shoulders by Naomi Shihab Nye), and a seminar map. In the background, seminar participants are discussing the poem.

Happy National Paideia Seminar Day! We kicked off last night with a parent seminar: Shoulders by Naomi Shihab Nye. Amazing discussion! So honored to hear varied perspectives of our parents! From strangers to caring community in one seminar! #PaideiaSeminar #JoyAtSchool @paideiacenter.bsky.social
Parents sit at tables in a library doing pre-seminar work on Shoulders (poem). Parents sit on a circle in the library with name tents in front of them. In the foreground, the facilitator’s text and map are visible on her clipboard. Awesome group of parents pose after the seminar with big smiles. In the background is the seminar follow up on a slide: “Set a goal to do something to care for a colleague or a friend in the next few weeks. Write down your intention.”

For #NationalPaideiaSeminarDay, 8th gr discussed a political cartoon from Rev War. Discussion was lively. Points were hotly debated. When a student came in late as seminar was ending, the teacher heard her friend say, "Girl, you missed the best seminar!" We are so glad she approved! #JoyAtSchool
Students sit in a circle in a classroom. They are hotly debating a Revolutionary War era political cartoon. Their body language (leaning in, gesturing with hands) shows their engagement in the dialogue. Panoramic shot of students sitting in a circle in a classroom.

During seminar at @WeAreCSLA today, a kindergartener said, “Sometimes we don’t agree with each other. That’s OK.”

Their second seminar ever, and they already have the basics! #NationalPaideiaSeminarDay #PaideiaLearning #JoyAtSchool

When students step into seminar with Chrysanthemum, they don’t just talk about a book—they explore empathy, identity, and kindness. 💛 #PaideiaSeminar #LearningThroughDialogue #ThinkDiscussAct #Paideia
