Your CFF environs and other reforms will not be sustainable unless you surface the present assumptions driving our schools! Do you expect the next twenty years to have less turmoil than the last twenty years? We hope not. Given the changes expected in technology, medicine, social interactions, the environment, and the international scene, what kind of world might our students face? As educators we can't say for sure, but one thing we know is that with the anticipated acceleration of events, our educational systems will be challenged to prepare students and staff to deal with them. It is not enough to plan for change; we must understand the change process and how it affects people over time. The focus of this workshop is to develop the skills necessary to change perceptions of learning, envision new curricular models, and schedules to help leaders to design sustainable learning for the 21st Century. Skill sets developed in the workshop are: collective thinking to surface underlying assumptions about learning and instruction, develop new patterns of relationships to create powerful instructional practices through technology, and envisioning different delivery models for schools.
