Blazing The Path: How Some School Districts Are Showing the Way by Catalyzing with Coherence

Since 2018, two national initiatives—Next Gen Learning Challenges and the Deeper Learning Dozen—have been working with 20 school districts to co-develop and advance a new approach to learning, school, and district transformation. These paths align the work of adults, students' learning experiences, and community involvement around the capabilities and mindsets these communities want to help their students develop: creative and critical thinking, caring and perseverance, collaboration and flexibility and citizenship. What does it look like when your learning model is also your operating model? In this highly immersive workshop, participants will hear from district representatives and researchers and envision applying these approaches within their own contexts.
