1. Creating the Schools We Need Raymond J. McNulty, President @ray_mcnulty

2. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination. --John Schaar

3. Making a better 20 th Century School is not the answer.

4. Unless we unlearn some of our traditional practices, we will never get beyond an improvement mindset.

5. We are getting better at things that do not matter as much anymore.

6. I believe the future is not about the latest gadgets, it is about something more than gadgets, its about … LEARNING

7. The Adult Learning Year! 2011

8. In an environment driven by results, the best strategy is to DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE. Broaden the definition of learning in your system to include adults.

9. The focus must be also on the way we work. Cooperation is what was valued in the past. It is about efficiency: You do this and I will do that. Collaboration is where we should focus. It is about shared creation, in which the focus is not on the process but on the specific results.

10. First practice must change, then results, then policy.

11. WE need to become the AGENTS of change.

12. Many people -- both inside and outside of education – seem to be afraid (generally) of three things: The Future Technology Social Skills

13. Themes 1.Best and Next Practices 2.Three key trends impacting us 3.Technologies to watch 4.Non-techie stuff / Relationships 5.Closing morning remarks

14. Theme Best and Next Practices

15. Best practices allow you to do what you are currently doing a little better. Next practices increase your organizations capability to do things it has never done before.

16. Expertise (the way we do things around here) can be a road block to problem solving and to the development of Next Practices.

17. SystemInnovation

18. Sustaining Innovation Next Practice

19. Disruptive Innovation

20. Established organizations often embrace sustaining innovations but struggle with disruptive innovations.

21. Example Research in an established organization is aligned to someone studying aircraft built in the 1940s…. All statistics and engineering data are based on what has been accomplished in the past, not what the organization might deliver in the future. Travel faster than the speed of sound!

22. Theme Three key trends impacting us

23. First Key Trend Our roles as educators is challenged by easy access to an abundance of resources Sense Making Coaching Credentialing

24. Second Key Trend People expect to be able to learn, study and work whenever and wherever they want.

25. The world outside of school is increasingly collaborative. We must reflect upon the way student projects are structured and graded and how teachers work. Third Key Trend

26. Theme Technologies to Watch The Horizon Report 2011

27. Near Term: 1-2 Years Electronic Books and Mobile Devices Amazon: For every traditional 100 books sold, 105 electronic books were sold. - May 19, 2011

28. Mid Term: 2-3 years Augmented Reality and Game Based Learning

30. Far Term: 3-5 Years Gesture-based computing Pattie Maes, MIT Media Lab Pranav Mistry, inventor of Sixth Sense

31. Current System Something Different

32. The Horse The Automobile

33. Henry Ford quote… If I had asked the public what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.

35. Some making bold moves…. Barren Academy of Virtual and Expanded Learning

37. Some suggesting bold moves…. Conrad Wolfram… Start teaching math and stop teaching calculating.

38. Theme Non-techie stuff

39. Intentionally Non-Compliant Student

40. The Fundamental Attribution Error When looking at our own behavior, we tend to view the situation in the environment that surrounds our action. When looking at the behavior of others, we make assumptions about their personal qualities.

41. The Effects of Praise Fixed or Growth Cant hand confidence to learners on a silver platter.

42. Social Skills 1.We are very good at content skills, rules, regulations, strategies. We are terrible at discussing and coaching on social skills. 2.David Brooks, The Social Animal 3.Policy makers are good at understanding social skills, but are void in recognizing their value when making policy.

43. Motivation

44. Motivation is a key ingredient for success in learning.

45. What Works Best? REQUIRE MANDATE FORCE EXCITE CREATE PASSION MOTIVATE

46. Talking with kids… Its not us against them!

48. CULTURE DRIVES STRATEGY

49. To Do Our Work Well Quantitative Data Qualitative Data Ask Great Questions

50. You cant teach kids you dont know….

51. Teacher – Student Comparisons T – I make learning exciting for my students. 86% S – My teachers make learning fun. 41%

52. 25 th Percentile 75 th Percentile 1. CARE: My teacher in this class makes me feel that s/he really cares about me 4073 2. CONTROL: Our class stays busy and doesnt waste time. 3669 3. CLARIFY: My teacher explains difficult things clearly. 5079 4. CHALLENGE: My teacher wants me to explain my answers – why I think what I think. 5983 5. CAPTIVATE: My teacher makes learning enjoyable. 3372 6. CONFER: My teacher wants us to share our thoughts. 4779 7. CONSOLIDATE: My teacher takes the time to summarize what we learn each day. 3867

54. Rigor Relevance Relationships

55. Relevance Rigor

56. Participation Gap

57. Hotels Airlines Businesses Hospitals Customer satisfaction surveys

58. Participation Gap Self-Worth: Self-Worth occurs when students know they are valued members of the community; have a person they can trust; believe they can achieve. Active Engagement: Active Engagement happens when students are deeply involved in the learning process. Purpose: Purpose exists when students take responsibility for who and what they want to become.

59. STUDENT ASPIRATIONS / PARTICIPATION GAP SELF WORTH ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT PURPOSE Belonging Heroes Sense of Accomplishment Fun & Excitement Curiosity & Creativity Spirit of Adventure Leadership & Responsibility Confidence to Take Action Relationships Relevance Rigor

60. Teacher – Student Comparisons T – I am aware of my students interests outside of school. 84% S – My teachers know my interests outside of school. 28%

61. Technical Challenges Culture Challenges Leading and Lagging Indicators

62. They expect more than just a score!

63. A test score is not a synonym for what a student has learned or a school has accomplished.

64. Focused measures for detecting improvement Changes in student performance lag behind changes in the quality of instructional practices. Changes in the classrooms are visible before you see them in external measures. Use the lenses of the Learning Criteria.

65. Learning Criteria to Support 21 st Century Learners Every school has its own DNA. School success is measurable beyond the tests. Data must drive school improvement initiatives. International Center for Leadership in Education, Inc.

82. IF WE WANT… Children to be learners who think, read, reason and express themselves effectively in multiple ways… Then we must show them thoughtful people eager to take in and use new information.

83. IF WE WANT.. Children to be brave and resourceful when confronted with the unknown… Then they must see us taking risks and finding new ways to move ahead.

84. IF WE WANT.. Children to be loyal, patriotic and responsible…. Then let us show them that we can be true to our deepest principles.

85. IF WE WANT.. A new and better educational system that educates all our children for success in the 21 st Century…. We will have to be new and better leaders and learners so that we can be FUTURE READY TODAY
