The good news is that the elements of the new system already exist. In this section we explore the transformative power of each of these elements to lay the groundwork for the transformation process.
- standards (21st century skills & loose-tight management)
- assessment & accountability (emphasis on formative and self-assessment)
- professional learning communities (inquiry & action research)
- job-embedded professional development (aligned to SIP goals)
- infrastructure development (making the work visible and connectable)
- community engagement (to break down the walls)
- system level agreements (to remove fear and build commitment)
