Joe first all welcome and I didn't get a chance to introduce self get my name's Andy called but I have a good fortune and privilege of serving as your superintendent so this marks the second facility planning me Bob are processed facility planning meeting at Stevenson so I wanted to volume I also wanted to say that I myself have sat in several meetings in his room and I personally find these seeds a little uncomfortable to for a long. Of time so by all means if you need to stand up and walk around that is not considered rude in fact I would encourage you to do so so please make yourself at home if you need to stand up walk around by all means do the restrooms are right outside the store I think you know we have faded sitting in the gym if you need it so wanted to make sure I covered those X's and O's also in Fort Wayne IN first facility meeting so too is at the case and this facility meeting we are recording this and it will be posted to our facility planning website for all those that are interested or not able to make it to see we also recorded our tour so that you could observe it virtually I don't know it will come through in the same way shape or form I know that as far as I know smell is not part of the video taping and I had I had some interesting smells experience  also will you should have each of you I hope and opportunity to sign in and also include your email the reason that I think that's important is we send every single person and we had about 175 said our first facility planning meeting in hemale reminder of this need and so if some of you in particular who didn't attend the first we will add you to that aggregate list so that you're getting our update to emails and particular to your not if you currently do not have a kid student in the school system that's really important for us to build that email server so please sign in for that reason in particular it will how much communicative push out information  if you do not have time to fill these out tonight or if you are like perhaps myself if you like the process things this isn't do tonight okay you can email me email Gmail email whoever you want but it is important that we can get into food qualitative feedback from each of you you can do it anonymously or put your name on it I don't care what I do care about it because we're going to begin to build qualitative feedback on your thoughts so it is important that we get these back because we're going to couch try to post this information to again to facility website in fact one of the things that generated our head food is currently posted what's the meeting in all of the wonderful feedback we received on her extra tickets last time so we have I don't know how many questions are on 20 plus questions and pause those questions were generated from the exit ticket so that's an example of how important this feedback is I want to take a moment and thank Haley had in the back Haley raise your hand so Haley is five ministrative assistant and was so helpful in facilitating and help coordinators meeting so thank you Haley I want to thank Jamie turn our culture singer here because they really stepped up in the last several days and are going to help me facilitate this process thank you to you guys are wonderful people and calling I'm blessed to work with you Portugal Stevenson for the tour and also helping coordinated range technology and everything you did a fabulous job with the Tory and you very well prepared and I yeah give her meme I think they just left only did it so jori lost George razor tell Jory is a high school student the Grandview and he volunteered to do the virtual tour and so thank you Jerry and I want to thank tray cook so tray course I know Naya Finestein is babysitting and of course I can't remember the other gentleman's name Mason's Kayla major so thank those two for volunteering to babysit I mentioned it will be mid videotaping so having said all that some of this is going to be review if you attended the last meeting and I'm going to try and get through a quick so I always like to start with the end in mind when it comes for today at the conclusion of the speed we're going to go till about 8:30 tonight at the conclusion of this meeting you walk away hopefully building understanding capacity as well as providing us feedback with the first thing honestly was the tour I hope that you found that helpful play pool so that we're all on a common ground of understanding of maybe seeing a takeaways maybe you did maybe you have some is a percolating in your in your mind hopefully that was I found it to be valuable myself are we here okay we're here because of deferred maintenance and capital Improvement the estimate assessment is conducted was in the neighborhood of 40 $4000000 district-wide I believe that figure for Stevenson is just about six million dollars it's an estimate but I believe to be reliable and valid and importantly I think we need to stay focused on why we're here the reason that we're here is we have age of magnetic Capital Improvement problem which means that every year we are able to do repairs and engaging fast and keep up with maintenance then gap for the money that we have coming in with respect to permanent Improvement fun and are deferred maintenance continues to so that's why we're here  that was a lot of what we spent last game talking about today we are going to shift and Piven and talk and trying to build selective understanding around Powell Form and Function in our school building to include, space as well as classrooms as well as media centers as well as Jim's can support the 20% room Century learn our parents and Community meetings as well as our staffing Chevelle  we're going to build understanding around the timeline and process again just revisit that understanding about space Form and Function and we're going to gather your perspective you're inside at the conclusion based on the tour and based on what Jamie and Mark present on with respect to 21st Century Learning spaces  I talk tell our annual permanent Improvement budget is around $540,000 a year and that is the money that we spend on technology Capital Improvements or maintenance last year for example at the end of the year we had a water border Frank water heater great I think it was $10,000 we had a roof that was leaking really really bad I think it was 140,000 and the third thing we had was we have one elevator in the high school and it was an inch and original elevator play broke and therefore the part that we needed is no longer manufactured that part had to be manufactured in that needed to be repaired immediately because Betty student in a wheelchair or on crutches could not access the second floor unless they were carried up the steps so that was an emergency those three examples at the end of the year were emergency Capital Improvement expenditures and prevented us from spending the planned money we had Legacy Capital group with you just as a factual indication of our current reality I mention to you that according to the comprehensive assessment turn on Stevenson the Deferred maintenance and capital approvement estimation estimation is over six million dollars District why it's over for 4 million that would be the cost of bring our facilities up to speed without having to spend annual funds on the fancy Capital prison the lady that through this process we choose not to do all of the things that were listed here by the way so their existing radian that's why we're here because it's process can be challenging because although I've only been you were superintendent for two years and three months is that there isn't going to be one planned and everybody agrees to I'm confident of that but I continually remind myself in advance of these meetings that this is the right thing to do this is the responsible thing to do ignore this reality the right thing to do and I know not where it will end up is to engage the community and an iterative collaborative transparent process  to do something to fix this problem and it again it could be anywhere from doing nothing too I don't know are you thinking important to mention eldo is not in this life we do have a debt ceiling of 52 million dollar by the way I share that with you not saying that what we're going to spend or what we should stand I'm sharing it with you that if we wanted to build just making this up for exam Arlington is proposing our neighboring Suburban district is proposing leveling the high school and building a new one I believe that their estimates are that's 130 $10 project just the high school so I sure that with you anecdotally to give you a sense of you know parked at ceilings 52 million dollar so we even if we wanted to you go crazy or I don't not suggesting that that say what anyone wants to do a picture someone in your the does we are going to be able to do Valium current room or less question she's our treasure CFL but that's a calculation based on the net worth of the community to that formula that basically analyzers given the community's wealth what is what they're willing to loan so dish State and that's it that's a superintendence version navigate we have a bond that is coming off the books in 2016 and it so as that saw then  I showed it's just as an example of basement and lower high school of you just went on a tour so it's not as relevant where are we in the facility planning process again it was done by Kevin Harrison's group was the comprehensive facility assessment all of that information by building and district is posted online and is very detailed kids very dense is very I think at informative you know Kevin believes that he is assessments or buying play accurate 2% I think they're pretty valid and accurate and again all that information was shared at the last meeting in great detail and is also on the facility website where we are now to the process to understand specific get back from community and begin to think about what could be and how they form and function and will lead us to an option for no face ocean of consideration so we conducted only one community-wide meeting in this is the first of the three building meetings we have had acid and Larson on Monday night play up the high school on Tuesday night of next week for living and final framework play any draft proposals based on the current timeline would be a recommendation to the board based on just like this where maybe we get it narrowed down to two options with some detailed cost projections and maybe I say too we started with 20 we kind of drill down into and the community his consensus and then there's a board recommended and in the timeline for that is I believe May mayesh  we've only completed phase one of her just starting Phase 2 there are no drawings there are tell conceptual renderings I have no predisposed dispositions of what is going to happen I may have an opinion but and I'll share it does it mean I'll get my way that's my wife CommunityWide engagement schedule calendar that post it online I sure did that at the last meeting and pass it out to everyone in fact it was mailed in the community-wide newsletter is an answer as well notices did May the process will dictate the outcome the process will dictate the outcome I think importantly you know while I was spend some time just recently talking about Aladdin when we hope to make a cord recommendation the process will also dictate the timeline in other words if we get mired down and we can't get consensus and there's a problem then we can extend the timeline  so while we have a detail process in schedule and timeline that isn't to say that the timelines going to dictate the process and outcome the process will dictate the timeline also and if we need more time with it you don't win we can certainly go back to the task force before the community and feed someone flexible the timeline in the calendar that we have and by all accounts including feel strongly that we can meet the timeline in calendar that we have in front of it play doing nothing could be enough question Blitz online  so you don't answer face that timeline will be impacted by hbg so long as being part of this process potentially hiring okay John just down line is that we hired in collaboration with their facility task force hpg Kevin Harrison Consultants can kids and their company are the one that created the comprehensive facilities that's been for every inch every square foot of all of facilities we have parted ways with him we are going to engage the facility task force in fact the meeting one week from tonight with or outcome of that meeting would be too full design I haven't dressed yet but I plan to but in my mind what process should we to hire an architect or planner what is the timeline and how soon can we get that done any is that what I just outlined right minded for where we are now so I think the answer to your question is are you depends him are successful and that's where the facility task force thinks we should go and I have not had that's the goal of the meeting next week so please no receptive to the facility task force stops on this I have not made any decisions or independent of them so in deference to many of them play task force members that are here today that would be the goal and outcome of that meeting to determine process timeline I would my own judgement is John I'd like to see Sooners close to Laird go interview three finalists all three were good and so the two didn't get it I will propose to them is the kid could that in consideration I also I known Eric for exam old was involved heavily with OS I know Rick van deusen is a very established well respected architect it has great experience I don't feel is in the car watch your business so maybe maybe there's a lot of knowledge and expertise on that so maybe they have ideas that I haven't thought of but I'm optimistic that will be able to hire that in maintain our current next  I don't want first ball but I'm pretty optimistic he's PG's go from here no they were just planners they were in fact very intentional purposeful with separating that head end in some of the differences were related to scope sequence of what you're getting at with some other parts and pieces of the facility assessment ticular with you letting you feel but irregardless they was the planning to include all say the portion where there were going to be phases and options and renderings cost associated with that so again my judgment and I'll have in deference to the facility task force meeting next Wednesday I think we need to hire someone to do two community members of the facility task force Rick Van Dusen Scott hensington I don't penzing sin I don't see Eric voting Adrian Bill Clifford I saw this year I have not seen Jonathan. I'm not seen Nicole I saw enter a load of gold and Tim Freeman I knows here Tim is there also want to recognize Fred but it's brand-new there's Brad He's our technology director fret Bradley director of operations myself best Colliers that is her daughter soccer game Marco picture is 21st century director TV lectures or chief academic officer also present in the audience is Melissa parmigiano board member how many Evans board member Debbie Brandon board member so thank you all for being and thank you for your leadership as evidence of you said about I keep reminding myself that this is the right thing to do and that takes courage and Leadership and I applaud you as board members for your willingness go to engage in this process process a calendar and timeline for that we currently established and you asked about they were instrumental in Inseparable in that process they review the facilities assessment conducted by HPC HP gof cck12 solution create working conditions working committee giving us feedback throughout the process because I'm positive again as I said there is it going to be 1 degree Tupac plan that everyone 100% of this community whether it's do nothing or whether it is rehab or whatever that everybody agrees to me and again as John asked I was planning on talking about hpg and Grandview Heights separated and we will be engaged the task force next Wednesday to discuss next steps children some assumptions we sagemodern fish in school buildings we want them to honor the proud tradition that is Grandview I mentioned in you saw and I asked you to think about if you were in a wheelchair trying to access this building what would that look like how would that be I think about collaborative space in think about common areas in classrooms where we would have Community meetings and what that space looks like we discovered importantly and I mentioned this at the very onset we're here because of deferred maintenance and capital Improvement that's why we're here  then we need your help in deciding how to address that and what that's going to this is to be about transparency honesty in set and the degree to which is your super 10 and am able to be as transparent and honest as I possibly can is as important as any to me but also I know to this board and to the facility task force and no decisions have been made we're going to begin hope today thinking about some ideas that you may have and get feedback as you all know we created a facility plan barricaded and will continue to update with the video hear the virtual tour this presentation will also be online we also add an FAQ will if there's be back in really great questions that we feel should be added to the FAQ and corresponding answers will continue to update that it working breathing document they also one of the other really great questions that was asked was what is spent in the permit approval Alaska spy gear so we put on there a permanent frumin expenditure report for The Last 5 Years of actual what how we spent that money so you can chat with in great detail  I wanted to be sure invention that so having said that I'm going to turn it over to two very capable people to Deer men's and colleagues and Jamie Lusher and Mark all true go to talk to us about 20% relearning space so thank you okay so we wait start off by discussing an education wheel of jargon we will phrases that kind of capsule 8 philosophy Spanish case we don't really love him we just going to get stuck in it sometimes when that happens when we name something such a sleeper Century Learning if you come to shorthand for philosophy of teaching different modes of teaching to cutting it short change when you use that shirt that's so we thought it would be helpful what time start speaking now would be helpful to talk about what we mean by 21st century in the context because a lot of this will hear these terms used a lot as we're talking about the facilities are fizzy I've heard the term 21st Century Learning least five or six seven times tonight as we were was that mean limited very user-friendly terms and then also be able to connect the dots for you so has she acted in the cops or what do I do well if it's not attached to Play and play facility so what fret. It's not attached to Beth's office which is financed then I'm responsible for it so many that happens in her the teaching and learning mark from assessment to curriculum to accountability the state level two professional belt of teachers so we're off as cilities matter but as you know Starbucks in order to not make the school right the people make the school dance to make the school and we worked in districts where we seen bright shiny website and really beautiful buildings but sing is happening so we are always thinking about you know how we can best move forward and spider's face or because of space and a lot of times in our world complex things and really trying to tell them into meaningful intentional processes for kids so I'm in the periphery of the facilities applications but obviously we have a message was too because of the end of the day all the programming all the learning all the instruction that's really on our shoulders to support that with ended that's why we're here because we're attacked by that either as an antecedent  so there's three ways that you here turn 21st century frequently used by the way silly slide you'll see it says 21 C and it was worth using that term in a kingdom paper Century learner white refers to our students 21st century teaching practice which is how do we teach the students who walk in or doors everyday for preparing something for the future but we also need to deal with them as they come in from put the real world from a world of technology and be able to teach them keep up with the speed of their learning and then we're going to talk about 21st century space so we'll get into these each in a little work out there okay so we talked about the four C's we all know that there are those soft skills that matter most of the skills and like that did you either fired or promoted right and they mad so we talked about before Caesar checking about communication collaboration critical thinking and creativity and we are talking about the teaching practices por roll has change dramatically I used to be the best home all dollars right not know not any longer right or kids can Google anything if they're curious about something that they can find it controlled variable case of communication what are we mean by communication course we all communicate we were all communicating when we were talking with each other when we came in will we are on the tour Indian Hindi was communicating with you put in a classroom setting what does communication mean you're for preparing students 21st Century wire so sharing of thoughts is very important instead of the teacher just delivering information in the children say okay I got it and then they're off and running show me some very important the kids are communicating with each other sharing question sharing ideas most important sharing solutions by the way as we go through this I'm older probably lot of you here but I think we probably have had very similar School experiences as children and I would like you to tell you to suspend but you know teaching and think again of how this applies to your children and the children who come into school navigate to 25 Circle Drive I need an update okay so glad rayshun I was a huge part of the conversation that we've been having having not only with our students but also our staff does you know we vertically aligned all of our crew mk12 and every grade level every classroom two years ago and that was a tremendous undertaking when you take that word we out and you insert I before being well to hell and we know that we are best cells or more working collaborating with others and sharing ideas feel that way not only for students before teachers is there an Asian professional development so you're working to reach a goal which we know is extremely motivational her folks and other two things stop it will, says that human beings are intrinsically motivated when they do something that's meaningful and relevant there also has never been done before so finding relevant to the meeting and see our kids responding to that in the environment that were putting them in now the other piece here too probably you're tapping into the talent and expertise everybody in the room right so we start dialogue I'm going to be typing in all the town that each of you have and bring as part of this Precision just what water class to feel like as well and also very important in the context of of where our children are going to end up in career for college how many you have a job where you work with somebody that you don't physically occupy space with in your office maybe you're emailing with somebody the collaboration is becoming more and more Global and its we try to get a children's opportunities lab rates when I was in school slam eration was his Jamie and project together she does have I do have please put the greatest book libration really is 100% 100% that's a skill that we really strive to give ours 863  Zentangle thinking we think about this not just what we want our students to know but how they're going to get there and as you know our student population is motivate in the highly successful in very capable so it's the process many times that should dictate the outfitting outcome for these kids so what then maybe wait to be able to access a multitude of strategies to take on any situation or scenario that her pain but the baby has a problem solver so you'll see our teachers and a greeting content across grade levels across content areas and relevant and meaningful ways you'll see a degraded conversations buildings based on a particular project-based learning armpits been there or coding hour or Genius Bar then boc reasoning analysis and interpret all of those environments were students here many ways to solve a problem and there are many way that they can look at evidence that they're gathering in the research process is a part of the workers are doing that's really important that is we are stretching them that we are as a matter of feeling practice asking them to reason and they can analyze and those highest levels of learning it's about that play right in Exploration giving them the opportunity to take risks and put them in an environment where they feel supported to take risks and for our teacher just wanted to take risks as a result of their desire to learn anything to grow  finish this last synthesizing in applying information is so important because the first meeting is played out actually flooded Tony Wagner's if it's not as important what you know 40 from you I'm sorry it's not as important as what you know but what you can do to make you know play music ocean of knowledge economy to an innovation involve  and when when I can find out any information I want 2 seconds on here it's is important today more than ever for me or us for Ford V preparing our kids thinking about our portrait of a graduate to compete in a global economy  that we are ensuring that we have an environment and teaching philosophy and a curriculum Hatfield's capacity and always in our students with these forces creativity of the four C's creativity might almost think of this is the first Domino that certain leans all the other the other 21st century skills and is how you approach problem-solving how you can innovate me and Venom we do find challenges for student 3D design thinking private case learning can we could just say you know so it's a basement has a leak in it here will you get them play the ketchup or VISA and allow students to look at that from many different angles and creatively come up with solutions. That also promised plane that is also often problem finding like right opportunities for Innovation and invention in the more than me provide those opportunities creativity has an opportunity be exercised in an authentic way I'll give you a quick example it's the high school right now we were in need extra text support and I'll because our Tech team we're stretched pretty thin so we started up a crew of students who are helping us technology and mr. Pettit and I sat down with the kids we could have just said okay we need you to do this this in this we need you to go out and fix the Chromebooks menu play NeXT computers but we allow the students to find the problems in the high school as far as tech support because they're the ones that are the consumers and what state creatively came up with far exceeded but we could give them but it's also relevant to their lives not a project that we're just saying you know create something this impress we got you really is wrong with this I'd say it's taken on a life of its own does almost succeeded keep it up on herself  so do you think about things isn't District when we think about that that consistency and I continuity K12 every suit everyday to make sure that they have optimal experience as they Charter Nordegren what skills do they have in tap succeed academically but I worry about perseverance I worry about Chris I worry about the fact that a lot of our graduates choose colleges really close to home and I never leave the bubble of Grandview and I was really the world is that look like so we've had a lot of conversations and it started with basically looking at that portion of a graduate that than seeing how are we starting her door to kindergarten instructing her students and supporting those saw variables and how are we ensuring that we are getting in the oven Bill perseverance kills me to give them opportunities to communicate not only in front of an audience but as part of a discussion to be prepared to have conversations so what is he now why is a part of the way that we do business here those softener call the Learning attributes that have those horsies and agreed is a part of our work that is is every bit as credible and every bit as intentional just are our academic cases are so Mark were in my classroom he might answer difficulty reading I would support reading we going there and he was afraid to take a risk and he got something wrong and we be working on you know what it's okay to try the hard stuff and we're going to try to times before you ask for help because you need to go to skills because I don't need to be successful truly is the way you know I said to her teachers we had the conversation party record with us I said you know nobody knows they have egg on their face until you tell them energy candidates for teaching jobs and you see some of the soft skills they don't have a cat what would that look like if we were going to start building those skills from the day they came and the Spurs are teasing out with that look like right thing that I need to take my idea that looks different Developmental and that's what I was just having a conversation now but as we think about this we want the skills to be every bit as highlighted in prescriptive srhac matter and am I in any of these matters even more you know very few of us remember what we learned on October 15th and 7th grade in science class but I'll tell you what remember the time we for sure dear to me cheated goal whenever possible for herself for that teacher that took time to say hey I know you some point you're going to want a job where you have to have interpersonal skills to be able to work in a team collectively so let's think about what strategies we can go so swear I can't we're taking that fence the next level and her go to our work in the type of learning environment to be like are stupid  just really just don't 8 lb 14 in the Looney Avenue 50 gather has a helix police officer orbiting each other it's not linear ratings on any one of these for anything to turn the ignition tree point to their interest or their skills so if you think of the end in mind it's really important whether we're talking about cuz I agree lesson that we design our unit paste how deep is learning opportunity to think about our students know we're always thinking about you know what will it be facing what challenges do they have to go up, what will they need to be prepared to do ultimately how do you learn fast and you know I love the fact that interview you have this tradition of really wrapping around students and getting to other very well in a relationship is ever and so it starts with their interest it starts with that relationship and then you don't have some soon as we're do you want to go what do you think would be the best way to you want build on y drinks with an also help you grow in the other ways that you hadn't thought possible so for us when we think about that end in mind for our students walking out those doors with all skills attack with her so learning afternoon or it's the rigorous college courses of toys that will leave inside of the college or careers that they're ready for soldiers Learners in a fourth grade class in the other day and they were talking about metacognition right and I'm not sure as a 4th grader I would know that was thinking about my thinking but they you're explaining that to one another because they were starting to think about how they learn best and what they need to learn best the details to talk to her okay so as part of our district goals this year one of the things that we're working on us as a dish look at project face Republic based learning within our grade level teams or within our department so that's where you'll see students in an opportunity to explore or investigate solution topic interest on and then basically do the research in the media to Positive Solutions and a variety of contexts in ways the box at group is example of reminder that we have one for the security to happening this this quarter so more to come on that as well but again opportunities for our students to collaborate with one another color to design a solutions to meaningful and purposeful problems but then that property to let them take it and then turn space where they wanted to go tell me what that is like for themselves or beard personalized but all predicated on the fact that they had the skills they have acknowledged all that left play. Creative and offensive way no even add that it's also think they can apply in a risky way sometimes we have to 210 want to try things and in his teacher sometimes it's tempting to say to don't do that because it might be a little more than you're comfortable doing wheelie bikes save opportunities in the stretch to thinking and we don't get any one foot store yesterday one of the students on the sides texting and said do you have a screwdriver in hand of a screwdriver about 5 minutes later I'm in my office and like I just can't her students. Right and I thought about it I went there to store five to the office next door and he is taking a bunch of broken Chromebooks and combined all the party, cousin Frank is going to put it together cooking with willing to take we gave him I gave him a screwdriver first of all the game of that safe environment to try something and drink Spanish Town Associates in info opportunities to fail we don't set them up to fail failure is part of the process of learning systems 2010 ATC 90 Craigslist would be helpful to kind of go through very quickly what are the differences between a traditional learner 21st century Learners also say 21st century classroom in a traditional classes are there which of these kind of ring a bell in your head from your schooling but I also think of what they said was kind of cool I wish I could have done that when I was in school can I get a disclaimer here because it's just like you know how some people really like you know to look at their ebooks and they're okay reading text on computers some of us like the smell of book and put in our hand there's not a writer okay sometimes it feels really good and I like that shoes that's what happening tonight but it just gives you some more background on the same 21st century what does that mean it's nebulous term well yeah we're going to walk through for that comparative analysis for you but again they're not competing interest rate many ways to depending on what you're teaching your what your end in mind is they're both extremely you just have to know what your intended out on this for the learning. first Bud environment for learning space can be a barrier when you want them to engage higher level learning skills play online for synthesize process access technology collaborate with what the demun experience if we have set roaches is difficult to mention that we're not building knowledge isn't important or that there Mikey Forest City get his what needs to happen first but then they were sometimes I throw it out there and let them experiment and then we can come back to the decision yet to have conversation about some of the more explicit things I want to get out of some of this gets tricky when we're talking about working with technology sometimes you have to do the tree by the way I think they said a little earlier on can we talk about 20% relearning people's line that goes to technology took headed to try to shake that out of your mind teaching my daughter to drive a car and we're out those for son didn't gets going to be a pretty good strategies moving experiments not so good so Amanda said this time we went now okay so ditional earning it's hilarious Turner's underwear information just being delivered to them going to lunch with poor man is close to the learner's initiating information or asking questions traditional wedding red Speck cases are the same for all and we give it a project fit on Ohio history and everybody's going to do a self film and as opposed to the students coming up with away messages anything wrong so it supposed to the students coming up with different ways to say one what's the median 10 assignment or interstate and Jamie decides she wants to write a paper to show me when she know any may want to do a live Chris Asian Brad might want to do a video voice and choice is very important to 20%  traditional learning tend to be very product-oriented where there is a product like the report scam players get nothing wrong with it but the 21st Century Learning we often want to look at the is that lead to the product it shows the words so process it as important. my daily communication because that is the process of learning and how the student that is responding when it doesn't work the first time or they hit a snag and something if they're designing process these kids are teachers a lot of information that also helps us then have plant seeds to get her shoes to stretch and further in than what their actual project could look and be like traditional learning with the teacher tell teachers to tell him to put to do delivery information delivering a truck I'm supposed to ask you this are constructing meaning so going back to what we talked about project-based learning we could tell students figure out how you're going to go to the high school in computers or we can have them come up with the very authentic way of doing that crowdfunding stuff Appliance  versus taking risk right and taking the risk to ask a question you know a lot of time to learn kids that are really you know they want the they want the grey they followed do all the things beautifully as soon as you ask him to think about what what you think what do you think would be the best way to meet your uncle or what do you think would be either his solution to this problem you'll see because they want to please teacher over rely on you see them they're not taking those rest so he frequently happening in the car what time is it there a person to be able to take risk and think about things in an open way  forget everything we're just driving to it's probably mirrors very closely does adults you do in your in your work World your work going so they just don't have to wait to get the traditional learning paper and pencil driven 21st century the technology-enhanced and I just said you try not to think of 20% for Learning and seeing about technology but technology does a language cartoon series very much as part of their life so how they learn and how they should be done with these have a huge technology quebedeaux that 3:30 I'm we know that the actual craft of writing leads to fluid writing whether it's with paper and pencil or whether to the keyboard so again we think about the best possible strategies for students to be building skills who we look at this and environment moon bear head and San Mateo Technologies and matter and hamster learning to know that many times a pencil and paper in the most appropriate way for them to task and purpose but then there are times you let technology Canon traditional learning has very often explicit stuff project in 21st Century Learning building stop in an ideal setting you should. And how are you going to show me when you know how do you want to share between the questions you now so the learning a much greater shelf life in one project or when you news traditional learning student entities isolated that music could be working alone it means they could be working in a group to school but delete from my migration of isolation in this contest where we said they were great of global Society for kids or Global Citizens they have potentially contact with people all over the world 2G internet another checking out so isolated kidney that you just working with people in your school or just agreeing before we have two potential to give them opportunities to Claire okay so the skip back my earlier point that you know anything about original learning are you going about 4 high-stakes testing relies heavily on suspicion of practice and what time it's compliance what we call the most restricted opportunities for students to show what they know you lost your problem solver create at least restrictive environment they can get over why I'm resources conversations collaboration what we have to do in the real world when you start your strict and it's true or false or bubble this box you start to restrict how they can demonstrate what they know and a true are good as you hated person so when we think Messi I want to comply with something real world sexual addition what they're going to do in real life there to be problems I love this much so the traditional Learning Center answers are primary there is a right answer there is a good answer there are several good answers to it's much harder to come up with a good question in a good answer anything for sage when anymore up the 10 freeway from providing opportunities students come up with questions is  going to serve them better in the current life in future College it's a good question leads to other good question so if I find the answer to question the next question is what are five other questions does that makes you ask again we go back to that restricted basements close at and there's either going to be a right or wrong or true or false oh yes or no and we think about open-ended again formation about the student only knows it gives him an opportunity to be created and his men opportunity to put their voice and their background in fact there are more ways to solve a problem then one or wanted to get out, so we want to make sure we're getting sued everything I need to have those opportunities to show now it over this way and it was on the roads are going to take to get to Darren  directions to 350 something text John supposed to get snowing fast and what's the capital of South Dakota post to you could ask what's capital but again we wanted to acquire to JP acquiring means you go deeper than Googling we're going to the first answer on Google or the first. You know how to ask a question you know how to become. where is Jimmy. So this one this one of my favorite sister Allegheny traditional learning weights for results and waiting for results of waiting to finding waiting in our current techridge the give me a few minutes to get an answer or two seconds to get an answer on my on my iPhone is Google questions where are students live in a world of instant feedback and instant gratification  the speed of their thought far exceeds anything we experience has learned so it's very important to work being opportunities learning opportunities assessment opportunities that provide them with quick feedback am I going down the right path with my question is getting answers that are valuable  one of the things that we know that's on big was whether to talk about 20% real best practices in students value feedback to make a value timely and descriptive feedback not that you know the section of us Pampers Bay that's not feed hey take a risk in this sentence out of different device there because I think you can make it stronger point so that's a really important piece because our kids getting feedback sometimes but it's not descriptive and that's a big piece of some of the  can you get the idea is to be back really rings the whole idea for cease communication claverie and critical thinking and creativity does are all forms of feedback of Engagement  Okay so stop this you probably know you learn everything about 20% Traxxas the reason that were talking about that these are the children that we have dinner schools everyday these are the teachers that we have teaching your children every day we're not going to start to talk to me stop what kind of space really would be optimized where is what kind of faces with could we design what kind of species exist in the world that allow do 21st century Learners to drive instead of just survive so this is a quote officer teaches 13 shirt looked at different learning spaces and when we talk about learning space physical space it can be the space this exists is virtually through computers a learning space to be a little corner In The Hallway that's just sitting there and used think of space and very creative and very Columbus Club look at your learning space with 21st century I just ate some of the things we talked about this very good enough it doesn't for what we know about learning today or is it just work for what we know about learning in the past so does it work for what worse than they are with as Learners what workouts poem or just his work for the children you're coming to us every day  tell me a kind of Texas extra money also go to the show Utopia the George Lucas Educational Foundation George Lucas started in 15 or 16 years ago you just come along turn the lights off baby videos the transformation in space has completely elevated student engagement how we find the environment the kids need sometimes to be in their caves and be private seems to be at the watering hole and Morgan song collaborative groups with a pencil cross-pollination where they're able to really share their work and work with each other just want to be under things behind things around things we have 5 gallon buckets in my room that we sit on play set on proceeding that I've made in my backyard how to recreate it supply wood and some phone and I also just threw a lot of just bring it back up that something that might be important to research from day one I said you may sit anywhere you like as long as you're safe in our classroom  that's working out really Trivago  we're really looking at how do we support kids working collaboratively and we can't do it if we're isolated and Rose can every kids and Island the first thing that has to have a vision for the room I'm going to throw on some of this stuff I don't need this traditional sewing equipment when you walk into a room that skip done tables you don't see individual student work spaces in some classrooms you'll see at least three kinds of flexible bookshelves that are mobile that can be moved so that the room to be totally opened up for a little bit praise can be created so that everybody can see everybody and we can participate as a community how can you do it on a sign what we found is teachers are really playing the streets the week that college kids leave town and say what they can buy for their classroom  would I like  today beginning of the year time to ask if any of you have a couch or chair that you have just sitting around the kids would like to read on it and it could be a reading corner I started and then it grew and grew because it was so sad. when is students walk in the room I'll say civil you work the best exactly the environment I want to be working in but for the other people clearly they have their Optimum working inside just like to music and also since you insist used in The Old Mill choose what's best for us we work better together and individually sing the kids not only be a lot more engaged they seem happier they seem more likely to engage in conversation because the space in this room has evolved throughout the where is students work has improved immensely their grades have improved just the conversations that they have with each other or so in waiting to hear may your house Levi's piloting flexible learning environments across the district to explore the connection an actor so is an example of a school syrup in 1990 just to give you a sense of 1900 that I said 1990 send that video while there's much of with it have just put it out there there's much of which I agree with there's some of which I think just for what it's worth I would be uncomfortable at so like for example I think some of those couch bases in the loss I mean some of you made I'm just sharing you transparently I I sure this about the importance of collaborative flexible space but also even some of that I think wish Diablo go to share with you smother to sometimes pictures speak a thousand words so we have been on some site visits and I wanted to share with you some pictures website visits that we so this is in Hilliard City Schools they have a generation Learning Center if they have these flexible seeds and they're bicolor so you can say something very quickly all the blue chairs get together group and talk about what three things you think would be best with Regards, space and Stevenson Elementary and then in 5 minutes for going to report out additionally I think we're going to do that one of your just as a quick exam  my daughter  the ioc for black ideas that are going on there they have a green room where kids are a good, safe learning all here and there my daughter was TED talks and perform protect Optavision room they just use the space and thought about Christmas in a different way in there's lots of so this is also at the I'll see in this is a whole way right there kidding I'm just kidding I took this picture because this is just a collaborative space in a hallway
