4 Guiding Principles
Globalization The world around us is changing. We must change our
current model or we will fail our kids.
Rigor/Relevance/Relationships All three must be integrated to be successful.
Technology Technology has to be embedded in the instructional model of
the future.
Future Space Allocation Needs to be adaptable and flexible. Some of the trends we
change “to” will be the ones we change “from” in the future.
