Collaborative Curiosity and the Unstuck Protocol

A Community Workshop

Presenters: Jennie DunKley and Sam DunKley

Whenever we perceive something as inaccurate, unexpected, or unjust, we get stuck. We freeze, flee, or fight – sometimes a little, other times, a lot. Being stuck is not a problem; it’s an opportunity.

Now more than ever, we must develop and implement more effective ways to provide support at the first sign of academic, communication, adaptive, and social gaps. Preventing emerging gaps from widening is the most efficient tool for improving outcomes and reducing the need for those safety nets. The simplest way to reduce the cost of intensive, expensive services is to decrease the need for them. This transformative approach to universal inclusion empowers person-first, whole-community collaboration. Collaborative Curiosity pushes beyond the WHY we need inclusive living and learning environments; it’s a novel, no-cost practice for HOW TO make meaningful inclusion less stressful and more seamless.
