Aspiration

Keith: Looking forward to collaborating with peers who are also learning about MCP.

Leonal: Looking to provide a model that supports learners who are facing attendance challenges.

Challenges:

Jacob: Credit attainment within previous models.

Keith: Challenges with students learning in different ways, need to break traditional teaching norms and use all available resources (tech, AI, etc.) to help facilitate a schedule and program that wworks for all learners.

Leonal: Finding ways to support teachers in using technology to support learners who are at different stages of learning. Support increase in use of tech to teach students 21st century skills along with this model.

MCP is for ALL students.

# data[].attributes.body
Create a shared instructional vision that ensures every student experiences high-quality, engaging instruction—regardless of teacher or subject.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest challenge that we are thinking about is getting our learners to the How and Why of learning and not just the recitation of facts. How do we get them to the Aspire to Do?

# data[].attributes.body
Cultivate student agency where learning, not compliance or task completion, is what defines progress.

Looking for ways to align different learning styles to master the content.

Aspirations:

Catherine: Gain leadership qualities to inspire colleagues and really impact grade level and most importantly students.

Kimmer:
My aspiration for this course is similar to Catherines. I want to inspire our teachers to implement ways that best support our students.

Brenna: We have a growing number of teachers being trained and implementing MCP. I want to be able to support them in implementation so they can be successful and our students as well!

Aspiration: Learners. We want to make sure we are prepared to lead and learn with our staff for students. How does mastery-based/self-paced learning support all students with a wide-range of abilities and needs? Part of our aspiration is rooted in understanding our role as building leaders and coaches to guide our staff. Some of us have seen personalized learning and/or MSC project in action and want to learn more.
