The needs of our students have changed.
We work with schools and parents to adapt to those changes.
Technology is continuing to change the landscape in which we live. Future jobs, careers and abilities of the adults of the future has changed drastically from the educational model that is currently used. Shifts in teaching and learning require new learning, instructional and school models. School’s and classrooms need to be able to:
- develop and promote student adaptability skills for the ever changing landscape,
- forge pathways for students to learn independence,
- create environments for an intrinsic love of learning,
- cultivate an entrepreneurial mentality, and
- create a nurturing environment for character education.
Design Thinking: draws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning, to explore possibilities of what could be—and to create desired outcomes.
We work with schools to create environments that will transform student outcomes. Environments can no longer just be the physical space; School environments include the culture, instructional practices and community partnerships that make the whole of any school.
Our expertise and experience is based on using design and system thinking processes to create schools that will transcend the challenges of the 22nd century. To change tomorrows future we cannot look at the issues through todays lens.
Systems thinking: understanding an organization, issue or environment by examining the linkages and interactions between all of the components that comprise the entirety of that defined system.
