Vision
Does your school have a shared vision? Do students, community, teachers, staff all agree on where they should be headed? We read a lot about educating students for jobs that don’t even exist yet, or about schools that are still teaching as if it was 1930. But how does a “vision” school actually operate?
I wonder if elementary schools have stronger vision than high schools. Perhaps because of more parental involvement there is often a stronger consensus on goals and standards. What we find so often at the high school is everyone doing their own thing, without a central core.
Does your school have a shared vision? I don’t see how we can switch to Web 2.0 or Web 3.0 without a shared vision on creating a new type of student. One who is a problem solver and innovator.
