- Survey your students - What is the one word that describes how you feel at the end of the school day?
- What is the one word that describes what you want your school to be?
Key Questions
What does innovation mean to you?
Tell me about some of the obstacles?
What are some of your successes?
Book #EdJourney
Schools are...
- Dynamic - Messy, noisy and chaotic, tailored, risky
- Adaptive - Interdisciplinary, teacher collaboration, exciting new courses
- Permeable - off campus, community partners, expeditionary learning, online and blended
- Creative - student-owned, knowledgeable creators, embracing failure
At the end of the road... Dewey (One word)
An idea wall? - Getting the children up out of their chairs!
Cognitosphere! - The evolving neural network - evolves the creating, sharing, archival of knowledge
We cannot innovate without taking risks!
What is holding us back?
- Anchors - time, subjects..
- Silos - boundaries = classroom, subject, grade level, parents, students = Silos stand in the way of connectivity!
Change is hard!
Term = Educator-leader (Don't look to a leader to tell you what to do... lead from where you are)
Interesting concepts = Teacher as co-leader! Teacher as farmer!
What do you want as an educator? Write a post it note!
The big challenge =
- We have hardware! (campuses, facilities, wiring, technological infrastructure, teachers)
- We have the software (Applications, text books)
We have to build a new operating system! = Assembly line etc time, subjects, subject matter... we need to reformat this!
