Introductions

Amanda DeCardy and Tom Barrett joined Jeff and David for the show.

Essential Question

Where Do You Start the Shift?

Some take aways from the discussion:

• Need leaders and owners of the process that needs to be systematic
• Using the curriculum review process to change instructional and assessments for shifted learning goals
• Bring whole community of teachers, student, parents and administrators into the process with various point people bring them in
• Shift everywhere- organic growth by supporting early adopters to administrators needing to lead the way
• Review mission/vision statements. Times have changed and so do definitions and how they fit with our changing world (e.g., multiculturalism)

David and Jeff put a few thoughts in posts on the topic.
