In Partnership, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

This presentation explores the concept of "ensemble thinking"—a perspective drawn from musicians who set aside personal identity for the sake of creating harmonious experiences.
