Jacob's 50th Birthday Party is not only a party, but a reflection of Jacob's life, and his continual striving to get '''''more effect for the effort''''' , with what Jim Collins calls "the genius of the AND". Specifically, Jacob's first half century of consciousness has had one continual theme: '''Rethinking Education.'''  And, so here is the evolving plan about the logistics of the party, to have it be both enjoyable AND support Jacob's lifelong work.

=== ReThink Table Conversation ===
=== Run-Of-Show for Teams ===
Table Leads ask one at time (don't do all questions at once, we want to go around quickly)
 
# Share your name and one thing you want us to know about you.
# How do you know Jacob?
# What is the most valuable thing you learned in school?
# What is the most valuable thing you learned outside of school?
# If there was one thing you could have everyone in the world learn, what would it be?
 
=== "Yes, And..." Solutions Table Conversation ===
 
# Lead Asks the table: "When you hear the term ___  what is the image you get in your head?"
# Lead gives everyone an actual description of the concept, and reads it aloud
#Lead asks for someone to play devil's advocate and share a hurdle that would make it not work.
#Then the table goes around with a solution brainstorm in a "yes, and..." manner.

Jacob's 50th Birthday Party is not only a party, but a reflection of Jacob's life, and his continual striving to get more effect for the effort , with what Jim Collins calls "the genius of the AND". Specifically, Jacob's first half century of consciousness has had one continual theme: Rethinking Education. And, so here is the evolving plan about the logistics of the party, to have it be both enjoyable AND support Jacob's lifelong work.
