Essential Question

Where do you start the shift?

Some take aways from the discussion>

Some key ideas needed for systematic change:

  • Have to have leadership and ownership of the shift
  • Work everywhere to get teachers, students, parents and administrators involved
  • Use the curriculum review process to change the way instruction and assessment are done
  • Many of our schools need to review their mission/vision statements. Their learning outcomes have different meanings today. “Multiculturalism” is just one example.

David and Jeff wrote blog posts around this EQ.
