4. The Key to our Success is all about
Removing Barriers to Learning!
•You can’t be successful today by being alone;
autonomy does not get you to great!
•It is about discipline.
•It is about collaboration.

5. We must continue our move from
Success by Chance to…
Success by Design!
We must move from beating
the odds to changing the
odds.

6. WHY CHANGE?

7. The imperative is well-stated by the Carnegie
Task Force on Education:
School systems are not responsible for meeting
every need of their students.
But….
When the need directly affects learning, the
school must meet the challenge.

10. When the rate of change outside an
organization is faster than the rate of
change inside the organization, the
end is near.

13. Current System
Something
Different

14. The primary aim of
education is not to
enable students to do
well in school, but to
help them do well in the
lives they lead outside
of school.

15. Making a better
“20th Century School”
is not the answer.

16. Too many schools, districts,
and systems are reactive
rather than strategic.

17. Simply said, we get what
we design for!

18. Schools must find new and innovative
ways to improve student
performance with increasingly fewer
resources.

19. From Education to Healthcare
School-Based Health
Centers:
Making healthcare available
and affordable for all
students
