  1. Phil Schlechty, Working on the Work, 2002 “The key to school success is to be found in identifying or creating engaging schoolwork for students.”

  2. All Students College-ready: Findings From The Foundation’s Education Work, 2000-2006, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation “Structural change alone is not sufficient. Changing a school requires more than simple modification of the physical configuration. The alignment of curriculum, instruction, professional development and student supports like academic counseling and college guidance can provide the structured environment that students and teachers need to thrive.”

  3. Henry Ford “Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.”

  4. Jim Collins, Good to Great, 2001

  5. Adam Urbanski, Revolution Of Rising Expectations, 1995 “Change does not come easily. The problem with today's schools is not that they are no longer as good as they once were but rather that they are precisely as they always were, while the needs of our students and society have changed significantly.”

  6. Mark Miles, Superintendent of the Fountain-Ft. Carson, CO, School District, 2007 “We can’t think about the world you lived in, or the world you live in, but the world we’ll live in.”

  7. Dr. Bill Daggett President of the International Center for Leadership in Education, 2007 “Effective change agents understand that our schools follow an agrarian calendar and were designed for the industrial age — not a good match with preparing students for the digital age.”

  8. Marc Prensky, On the Horizon, 2001 “Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.”

  9. Marc Prensky, On the Horizon, 2001 “What should we call these “new” students of today? Some refer to them as the N-[for Net]-gen or D-[for digital]-gen. But the most useful designation I have found for them is Digital Natives. Our students today are all “native speakers” of the digital language of computers, video games and the Internet.” “So what does that make the rest of us? Those of us who were not born into the digital world but have, at some later point in our lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology are, and always will be compared to them, Digital Immigrants.”

  10. Shift Happens v4 • “We are currently preparing students for jobs that don’t yet exist using technologies that haven’t been invented in order to solve problems that we don’t even know are problems yet.”

  11. Albert Einstein “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

  12. The New “3 Rs” • Rigor: They have high expectations for all students and engage all students in challenging coursework. • Relevance: The curriculum is organized in a way that is highly engaging and meaningful to students given their interests and aspirations. • Relationships: All students get personal attention and support in a safe, respectful environment. As defined in the article “All Students College-Ready: Findings from the foundation’s Education Work 2000- 2006” found on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website.

  13. Dr. Bill Daggett President of the International Center for Leadership in Education, 2007 “Rigor comes alive through relevance.”

  14. Sam HoustonPresident and CEO North Carolina Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Center, 2007 “The problem with schools today is not that they are not what they used to be but that they are what they used to be.”

  15. Margaret MeadeUS anthropologist & popularizer of anthropology (1901 - 1978) “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

  16. Ray McNultySenior Vice President, International Center for Leadership in Education, 2007 “What got us here today will not get us there tomorrow.”

  17. Dr. Bill Daggett President of the International Center for Leadership in Education, 2007 “Kids have to know what to do when they don’t know what to do.”

  18. Bob PearlmanDirector of Strategic Planning for the New Technology Foundation, 2006

  19. Eric HofferAmerican social philosopher and writer, 1972 “In times of change, the learners will inherit the earth, while the knowers find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.”

  20. Thomas FriedmanThe World Is Flat, 2005 “Building employee versatility and finding employees who already are or are willing to become versatilists will be the new watchword for career planning….” “Versatilists…apply depth of skill to a progressively widening scope of situations and experiences, gaining new competencies, building relationships, and assuming new roles.”
