New Designs for School
We’ve all had the experience of truly purposeful, authentic learning and know how valuable it is. Educators are taking the best of what we know about learning, student support, effective instruction, and interpersonal skill-building to completely reimagine schools so that students experience that kind of purposeful learning all day, every day.
The School Design Blueprint is a design document that outlines the school’s plan for transforming its current school model to one that better serves the unique needs of every student. The blueprint is structured to answer four main design questions:
- What is our theory of action for solving our greatest systemic challenges?
- What will the future student experience look like when we succeed?
- What will we implement next year that gets us closer to our long-term vision?
- How will we continuously roll out new features of our model and engage stakeholders in the work over time?
