To prepare
EVERY student
for learning, life,

in the 21st century.

Our world has changed…
1. It is flat and open.
2. It is unpredictable.
3. It is increasingly
unforgiving to those
who are unskilled.
4. It is constantly
evolving.

4. Less &
More
Less
paper,
more
pixels.

5. Less single
source,
more
crowd
source.
Less &
More

6. Shifting from Single Source
to Crowd Source
Old School
“Read the part of
chapter 6 on the
Boston Massacre and
be prepared to
answer questions.”
New School
1. Team One find 5 historical
narratives by different authors
2. Team Two find 5 primary
source documents from the
trial
3. Team Three find 5 British
history references and
opinions
4. Team Four find 5
contemporaneous editorials.

7. Less
just in case,
more
just in time.
Less &
More

8. Disruptive
Questions
What would an
“open phone test”
look like?
What happens when
everyone can get
anything from
anywhere?

9. Less
about tests,
more about
being
tested.
Less &
More

13. Aligned Learning Practice

14. Aligned Learning Practice
Aligning leadership &
talent capacity
development processes
with data informed and
research driven
learning practice.
Aligning Integrated data and
knowledge platform support with
management and analysis tools that
are efficient and easy to use.
Aligning
instructional/learning
evaluation structures
with digitally supported
21st century
skills, knowledge and
dispositions.

15. The Best Way…
…to create a
“Common Core
classroom” is to
forget the Common
Core and focus on the
skills and attributes
students will need to
be successful in their
lives beyond school.
