Focusing our learning targets/standards on meaningful learning for students - skills and knowledge they will use today and in the future.

I think it is important to leverage integration for learning rather than always looking at learning through a lens of subject in isolation.

I deeply believe schools must focus on this in a meaningful way in order to students to learn how to navigate the world they live in today and tomorrow.

Was told today that cutting out content (and prioritizing learning) would potentially cause us to risk kids not doing well on ACT/SAT and getting into college.

And so, if we look at learning differently, what other measures might there be to ensure learning program continues to improve and learners continue to meet with success. (what might replace MAP scores?)

Education typically uses too many words and in the words we lose our common understanding. I suggest something bold and SIMPLE.

Shaysann covered a lot of this in terms of targeting skills and knowledge necessary for success - I would add the learning explicitly connects each of the standards or learning goals to the greater (global) world (we often say real-world but unless we are figments of imagination everything is real world). Basically, the New Normal includes meaning and understanding that comes from connections outside of schools.

Teachers teach how they were taught - a mind-shift is required. Parents expect what they 'got'- a mind-shift is required.

If we can SHOW learning in new but recognizable ways - greater validity will be given to an education that focuses on critical skills and connectedness.

Students will engage in real world tasks (design challenges) with people of different ages/ experiences , located inside and outside of school to apply what they learn in schools

In a world where anxiety is increasing, the search for control benefits a direct teaching and testing approach rather than a exploratory approach (even if this is more engaging)

Some of the brutal facts are strong and cannot be wished away. We will have to create steps to capture value in the New Normal for parents and universities in their language.
