8
This is my church where technology is abundant in a new building
9
This is where Sunday school youth groups meet and play wii games in order to build community
10
The teen youth pastor uses technology to engage kids in discussions about real world events
11
He even uses Facebook to conduct outreach Our pastor understand that he needs to go where the kids are and keep them connected to the church through multiple means

Comer Childrens Hospital
University of Chicago
13
Irsquove also seen technology used by child life experts in hospitals recently
14
In order to alleviate anxiety before an MRI my son was soothed by this machine that used a Simon like interface to change the colors of this lava lamp machine It also projected images on the ceiling

You can check your flightrsquos status and play games while you pass time in the Delta terminal
21
There are also many tables with outlets for re-charging devices

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
35
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

ldquoThe Highly Connected Teacherrdquo
The National Educational Technology Plan
45
Highly connected teachers are connected to data to resources and to each other
Connected Educator Month

Out of this interest in connections CEM was born It will take place this year in October Free activities are available to educators from around the world
ConnectED
47
This is the most recent initiative put forth by the Obama administration Obama recently traveled to Mooresville NC to announce new efforts to upgrade connectivity train teachers and build on private-sector innovations
New Roles for
Students amp Educators
Content consumers
Content Creators
Content Evaluators
Connected and Networked
48
Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

So letrsquos talk technology and its effect on our society
Fourth Presbyterian Church

This is my church where technology is abundant in a new building
9
This is where Sunday school youth groups meet and play wii games in order to build community
10
The teen youth pastor uses technology to engage kids in discussions about real world events
11
He even uses Facebook to conduct outreach Our pastor understand that he needs to go where the kids are and keep them connected to the church through multiple means

14
In order to alleviate anxiety before an MRI my son was soothed by this machine that used a Simon like interface to change the colors of this lava lamp machine It also projected images on the ceiling

Julia and Henry

My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

69
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

He even uses Facebook to conduct outreach Our pastor understand that he needs to go where the kids are and keep them connected to the church through multiple means

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
35
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

48
Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
35
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
35
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

New Roles for

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

69
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
70
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

The School uses social media extensively throughout its school providing real life digital citizenship experience for kids They develop their own profiles and avatars in a school-run social network These profiles are archived each year so that everyone has a fresh start and numerous opportunities to practice the skill of establishing a digital footprint
69
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
70
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

Herersquos a list of some of the experiences that I bring to the table While most educators are silorsquod in their school buildings Irsquove been very fortunate to visit a wide variety of institutions My favorite thing to do is to tell stories of the work and initiatives that I find inspiring
Julia and Henry
35
My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

48
Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum

I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

Are parents and educators asking for more

I think not

This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and

Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows

42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities

36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

My biggest inspirations however are my two children I often think about how I (and their schools) are preparing them for a brave world How can I nurture them to grow up to be innovators I think here at the Avenues that question has been addressed very comprehensively
Our perspectives need to
E x p a n d
36
Because of my experiences I feel that our perspectives need to expand Continuous improvement is a worthy goal as we try to navigate educational change I would argue that we need to get in front of the bus rather than be stuck coughing exhaust fumes
Education is changing
37
Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

69
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests

They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia

Are parents and educators asking for more
high stakes testing standardized curriculum
and seat time
I think not
38
There seems to be a societal disconnect between the national narrative for educational improvement and what we know and desire based on our work with children
This I Believe
Visionary Leadership
Empowered Faculty
Authentically Engaged Students
Progressive teaching and learning practices
Authentic school communities
39
Based on my travels and conversations these are the things I believe in and want to see more of in our schools
Schools where continuous improvement using a wide variety
of criteria is the bottom line
Schools that see their role is to educate enlighten and
support kids and their families
Schools where intellectual curiosity and variety is valued
where educating for compliance is not the norm
Visionary Leadership
40
Empowered Faculty
Schools where teachers have strong backgrounds in
pedagogy child development and in meeting the needs of
diverse learners
Schools faculty have ample opportunities to observe each
other visit other institutions and to engage in activities to
benefit their own learning
Schools where professional development is personalized
and supportive of teachers
41
Engaged Students
Schools where student voice is taken into consideration
throughout the school culture
Schools where students are encouraged to identify and
pursue their passions
Schools that show evidence that their faculty really knows
and understands their students
42
Progressive Teaching and
Learning Practices
Schools that look beyond Common Core standards to
prepare kids for a new world
Schools that provide ample opportunities for hands-on
project and passion-based learning during and after school
Schools that view technology as essential to the learning
process and thoughtfully plan for integration
43
Authentic Communities
Schools where parents and students are authentically engaged in
the community
Schools that provide a multitude of means for parents to get
involved
Schools who encourage honest community dialogue by
acknowledging their strengths and areas targeted for improvement
Schools that educate their parents and community members about
what it means to be a 21st century learner

Many of my peers in education are doing these things I would argue that to be successful in our rapidly changing world adults and kids must be proficient in creating and analyzing digital media in addition to learning to leverage learning networks

69
They even create profiles for historical figures and tag clouds allow them to see connections between real and historical figures in terms of interests
70
They use Google Sites for reviewing books and commenting on the reviews of others It is organized by class so that you can see the reading habits of kids throughout their time at the School at Columbia
