How to Become a Participant in the K12 MindShift
Our elementary education system is stuck. Results continue to decline. More
money is being poured into a system that is obsolete, misaligned and fragmented
by special interests. We think its time for a new approach, a new conversation.
You have an opportunity to take a look at and join the K12 MindShift.
MindShift has become an effective approach to tackling large problems and
shifting the conversation. Past initiatives have resulted in two published books,
winning the 2009 CoreNet Global Innovator of the Year award and a recognized
catalyst for change.
Participants have deepened their expertise and elevated their status as thought
leaders within their industry and to their constituents.
The K12 MindShift aims to break the logjam of challenges that has held back
education reform for decades. The heart of the process is made up of four 2-day
summits over one year. These summits are developed by a professional event
designer to create breakthrough conversations and insights.
Our approach uses an Inquiry Based, Project Based and Team Based approach
to exploring the constraints within K12 and discovering and proving out new
innovations.
Participants will visit some of the most progressive learning environments and
communities who have succeeded in transformation. These include Sarasota, FL,
the East Lake Academy in Atlanta and Columbus, Indiana's coalition building
model and the Signature Academy.
The network of relationship formed and sustained during the process will provide
resources and relationships that can serve in the future.
The product will be a book published by Wiley and a national awareness
campaign in the fall of 2016. We will also create a website to promote our work
and encourage content contribution.
The funding model to develop and manage the many members, secure a
publisher and synthesize the research into a book is accomplished through
sponsorships. The different levels of sponsorship are reflected in the level of
recognition in the book and on the website.
