To What End?

There is a disconnect between what is done in schools and what is required for an ethical citizenry and a world class workforce. We also recognize that there are schools and districts committed and willing to develop the capacity, knowledge, and skills so that curriculum, instruction and assessment are aligned with the deeper goals of success in work and life for all children.

Is your district or school looking to meet the challenge of preparing students for the thinking required in the 21st century? Do you recognize that your students need more than basic memorization and factual recall to succeed in the new economy?  Are you looking for a way to support teachers across subject areas and grade levels to ensure high level thinking in every lesson every day? Are you searching for an instructional design model that will allow teachers to mindfully and actively incorporate the 4 C’s (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, & Creativity) into every unit and every lesson?
