Developing Our Why
We need to explore our “why” because our society has changed and the world we are preparing today’s students for is very different from the time when our current school models were invented.
What students need in order to be able to thrive in our world is rapidly and continuously evolving. By the time our current school children hit the workforce, there will be even more change. Many current jobs will be obsolete or irrelevant while most of the future jobs have not yet been invented.
We must prepare students for their future and not our past. To do that, we need to get very clear on who we are serving and what they need. Changing the system begins with developing a very clear set of outcomes that we want the system to achieve.
We need to consider: 1. What are we preparing them for? (what are the megatrends that are and will change the world?). 2. What will they need? (what mind sets, skillsets, and toolsets will our students need in the future?). 3. What are the best ways to prepare them? (how people learn best?).
Great School Indicators
“Not only are the expectations currently imposed on schools without precedent, but schools are expected to meet these expectations in a social context vastly different from the context that existed at the time public schools were being created”
Schlechty (2001) lists and describes eight shifts in the social context that are making the expectations on schooling higher and more difficult to attain.
Every Child an Academic Success
Parents as a Shrinking Minority
Government Schools
The Loss of COmmunity
A Tribe Apart

Mass Customization
Our beliefs influence the lenses we use to view our world; these lenses are our paradigm, our vision, our mindsets. These values, beliefs, and paradigms greatly influence our actions, and our actions impact the results we get.
Beliefs are important, but they are meaningless if they are nothing more than statements hung on a wall. It is very important to develop strategies to ensure that these beliefs, whatever they are, command the attention and commitment of all those whose support is needed if the beliefs are ever to result in visions that are realized
