Winston Salem Administrators Workshop - 7.28.09
This document outlines Chris Lehmann's vision for School 2.0, which focuses on creating schools that develop students' citizenship over workforce skills through progressive education supported by 21st century tools. It discusses problems with the current system like a lack of vision and humility. Lehmann advocates for student-centered, project-based, differentiated learning and sees technology as a tool to support inquiry, collaboration, and student work rather than direct instruction. The document calls for reexamining systems and structures through the lens of core values like learning that matters to students.

What the schoolsystem needs to understand is that its strength lies, not in the strength of the central organization, but in the strength of the individual school, not in making one school like another, but in making each school a distinct unit. The need of the system is the preservation of its units, so that each school can keep itself alive, wide awake, responsive to its people, easily adaptable, the best of its kind.
