Public schools face an array of daunting challenges, each a reason that change is hard: won’t work, won’t improve outcomes, can’t afford it, teachers will rebel, flavor-of-the-month. Taken together these=inertia that prevent us from scrapping the Industrial Age assembly line and back-flipping to the passion and engagement of Dewey+connectivity that will prepare our students for their future.
I am lucky to be working with a large public school district, Poway Unified, where they have said “yes we CAN do better, and we WILL overcome those obstacles”, and we are going to open a school to help prove, like others around the country, that transformation from the assembly line to a learning ecosystem is doable at all scales!
