It isn’t just “coming”… it has arrived! And schools who aren’t redefining themselves, risk becoming irrelevant in preparing students for the future.

Trends that Drive the Need for Change
Trend 1 – Social and intellectual capital are the new economic values in the world economy.
This new economy will be held together and advanced through the building of relationships. Unleashing and connecting the collective knowledge, ideas, and experiences of people creates and heightens value.

Trend 7 – Technology will increase the speed of communication and the pace of advancement or decline.
Using participatory media educators will help today’s students shape tomorrow’s world.
Teachers will become partners with students- using learning communities to open the classroom to the world. They will deal with real world problems and opportunities while gaining a global perspective.

Focus on Possibilities–Appreciate “What is”
–Imagine “What Might Be”–Determine “What Should Be”
–Create “What Will Be”Blossom Kids
Classic Problem Solving Approach
– Identify problem
– Conduct root cause analysis
– Brainstorm solutions and analyze
– Develop action plans/interventions
Most families, schools, organizations function on an unwritten rule…
–Let’s fix what’s wrong and let the strengths take care of themselves
Speak life lifeto your students and teachers…
–When you focus on strengths, weaknesses become irrelevant
Spending most of your time in your area of weakness—while it will improve your skills, perhaps to a level of “average”—will NOT produce excellence
This approach does NOT tap into student motivation or lead to student engagement
The biggest challenge facing us as educators: how to engage the hearts and minds of the learners
