“She showed me I could take my dreams as

James Franco

WE COME FROM AGREAT TRADITIONOF EDUCATION…

…BUT THERE ARE, REALLY,

TWOGREAT TRADITIONS

OF EDUCATION

“ACADEMIC” TRADITION

“ACCOMPLISHMENT” TRADITION

THINKINGACTION

“AN APPRENTICESHIPTO THE WORLD”

for some reason

KIDS HAVE ALWAYS …

LEARNED MORE…

AND BEEN MOST MOTIVATED…

WHEN DOING REAL PROJECTS…

IN THE REAL WORLD…

FOR REAL AUDIENCES…

THAT PREPARE THEM FORTHE WORLD THEY WILL LIVE IN!

NOW, WITH…

OUR KIDS ARE NO LONGER THEPEOPLE WE WERE IN SCHOOL

CHANGETHE IDEA OF WHAT GLOBAL EDUCATION

EDUCATION CAN NO LONGER BEJUST AN ACADEMIC PROCESS

WE NEED TO BEEMPOWERING OUR KIDS FURTHER…

TO USE THEIR NEW ABILITIES….

TO ADD VALUE ANDIMPROVE THEIR PERSONAL, LOCAL AND

GLOBAL COMMUNITIES…

THROUGHREAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENT!

WE ALREADY DO “A BIT”:E.G.

- LONG-TERM PROJECTS- SERVICE PROJECTS

…BUT WE NEED TO DO MUCH MORE!

WE’RE HEADED TOWARD A NEW EDUCATION MATRIX

WITHGlobal & Local Awareness

EffectiveAction

EffectiveRelationships

REAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENTIndividual & team solutions

based onPassions & Local / Global Needs

AT ITS CORE, BECAUSE

REAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENTIS WHAT WILL ENABLE OUR FUTURE KIDS

TO SUCCEED!

PEOPLE WHO CAN

GET THINGS DONE

TODAY WE ARESHORTCHANGING

BOTH OUR STUDENTS AND OURSELVES…

BY DEEPLY UNDERESTIMATING WHAT OUR KIDS ARE NOW CAPABLE OF,

AND THE VALUE THEY CAN NOW ADD TO THE WORLD

ACADEMIC EDUCATION ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

BECAUSE…

IT SO DEEPLYUNDERESTIMATES

WHAT OUR KIDS CAN NOW DO

IT IS AFUNDAMENTAL ERROR

TO THINK THAT IF WE JUST IMPROVE“ACADEMIC EDUCATION”

(AND PERHAPS ADD A FEW MORE SKILLS)ALL WILL BE WELL

SO IT’S TIME FOR A

PERSPECTIVE

OUR TIMES DEMAND

AN EDUCATION THAT GOES

BEYOND“ACADEMIC” EDUCATION TO

AN “EDUCATION TO

BETTER THEIR WORLD”

1. A BETTER GOAL, AND END, FOR ALL OF US

PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT

BEYOND

A BETTERWORLD

and aA BETTER GOAL, AND END, FOR STUDENTS

“LEARNING” TO

BEYOND

BECOMINGGood, effective, world-improving

people

“LEARNING” IS A MEANS TO BETTERING THE WORLD AND BECOMING GOOD, EFFECTIVE WORLD-IMPROVING PEOPLE,

BUT“LEARNING” IS NOT THE GOAL

OF EDUCATING OUR KIDS

BETTERING THEIR WORLDand

BECOMING GOOD, EFFECTIVE,WORLD-IMPROVING PEOPLE

IS THE GOAL OF EDUCATING OUR KIDS

2.A BETTER MEANS

LECTURINGDISCUSSION

BEYOND REAL-WORLDACCOMPLISH

A BETTER MEANS

“MADE-UPPROBLEMS” TO

PROJECTS THAT SOLVE

THE NEEDS OF THE LOCAL AND GLOBAL WORLD

A BETTER MEANS

CLASS PROJECTS AND PROBLEMS TO

BEYOND “APPLIED PASSIONS”

2.A BETTER MEANS

REALACCOMPLISH-

SO OUR KIDS BECOME

OUR KIDS ARE ALREADYSTARTING TO DO THIS ON THEIR

OUR JOB IS TO MAKE THEMEVEN MORE POWERFUL!

3.A FAR BETTER “SUPPORTING” CURRICULUM

TRADITIONALSUBJECTS TO

BEYONDTHINKINGACTION

RELATIONSHIPSACCOMPLISHMENT

WE NEED TO GET BEYOND…

“THE MESS”

MATH, ENGLISH, SCIENCE, SOCIAL STUDIES

This is what we have been through. Is this what we are creating?

TO A SUPPORTING CURRICULUM OF

Effective THINKING

Effective ACTION

Effective RELATIONSHIP

SEffective, Real-World

ACCOMPLISHMENTAnd especially

BECAUSE…

“SUBJECTS”are needed in different amounts

by each student

“GENERALIZED SKILLS”are needed as much as possible

by EVERY student

IT’S IMPORTANTTO UNDERSTAND THAT,

IN TERMS OF SKILLS TAUGHT…

Reading Mathematical Thinking

Understanding written communication

Writing

Research

(Critical Thinking)

(Scientific Thinking)

(Citizenship?)

TAUGHT SYSTEMATICALLY

TODAY’S GLOBAL K-12 CURRICULUM ISINCREDIBLY NARROW

THE RANGE OF SKILLS ALLKIDS REALLY NEED IS

FAR BROADER

“EDUCATION TO BETTER THEIR

REAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENT

Global & Local Awareness

New Core, Needed by all

REAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENTIndividual & team solutions

based onPassions & Local / Global Needs

IT DOES NOT MEAN REMOVING MATH, LANGUAGE, SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES FROM OUR EDUCATION,

BUT, RATHER, INDIVIDUALIZING THOSE SUBJECTSTO FIT STUDENTS’ APPLIED PASSIONS AND

TO HELP OUR KIDS IMPROVE THE WORLD THROUGH REAL-WORLD ACCOMPLISHMENTS

IT DOES NOT MEAN MORE CLASSES,BUT RATHER

SKILLS LEARNED AS NEEDEDTHROUGH THE INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECTS

MORE AND MORE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD

— INCLUDING THE LEADERS OF THE IBO —

ARE NOW REALIZING THAT…

OUR NEW WORLD AND EMPOWERED KIDS

REQUIRE A DIFFERENT EDUCATION:

“AN EDUCATION TO BETTER THEIR WORLD”

• PARENTS• TEACHERS

• OUR COMMUNITIES

WHAT WE NEED TO DO NOW IS TO CONVINCE

TO FIND WHAT WORKS BESTIN EACH SCHOOL AND FOR EACH KID…

WE NEED TOEXPERIMENT !

“Don’texperiment

with MY kid!”

SORRY, BUTWE HAVE TO!

IN FACT,IT WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE

OF US NOT TO!...

BECAUSE OUR KIDSLIVE IN A…

NEVER-BEFORE-SEENCONTEXT

THAT ISVERY DIFFERENT

…FROM THE WORLD IN WHICH WE — TODAY’S ADULTS — GREW UP

…AND WE DON’T YET REALLY KNOWHOW TO PREPARE PEOPLE

FOR THAT CONTEXT!

SO WE MUSTALL EXPERIMENT TOGETHER!

TO CREATE A NEW EDUCATION THAT IS

BETTER FOR OUR KIDS

BETTER FOR US

EDUCATION TO BETTER THEIR WORLDIS BETTER FOR OUR KIDS

because it provides them with

• INDEPENDENCE• APPLIED PASSION

• A STRONG RESUME OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS• A STRONG SENSE OF HOW

EDUCATION TO BETTER THEIR WORLDIS BETTER FOR ALL OF US

BECAUSE IT LIBERATES HUGE AMOUNTSOF UNUSED STUDENT POTENTIAL

TO IMPROVE OURCOMMUNITIES AND OUR WORLD

WE ARE, TODAY, ON THE

GROUND FLOOR

OF A VERY NEW WORLDTO COME!

IMAGINATION

CREATIVITY

INNOVATION

ENTREPRENEUIALSPIRIT

I’M A HUGE OPTIMIST ABOUT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION…

BECAUSE I’M A HUGE OPTIMIST ABOUT TODAY’S KIDS!

ALL KIDS EVERYWHERE !

THEY NEED ANEDUCATION THAT MORE DEEPLY COMBINES THE ACADEMIC AND

ACCOMPLISHMENT TRADITIONS OF EDUCATION

Effective THINKING

Effective ACTION

Effective RELATIONSHIP

SEffective, Real-World

ACCOMPLISHMENTAnd especially

THEY NEED AN EDUCATION THAT MORE DEEPLY

INTEGRATES OUR KIDS INTOHELPING THEIR

LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES

THEY NEED AN EDUCATIONAND TEACHING THAT

EMPOWERSTHEM

FURTHER

• INDEPENDENCE

• APPLIED PASSION

• A STRONG SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

• A STRONG SENSE OF HOW THEY FIT INTO THE FUTURE WORLD

WE NEED TO HELP THE PARENTS UNDERSTAND

HOW TO SUPPORT THEIR KIDSAS THEY BECOME EMPOWERED

Respect for elders

PARENTING STYLE

IndependenceObedience Self-relianceGood manners CuriosityWell-behaved Considerate

THE EDUCATION OUR KIDS NEEDDOESN’T FULLY EXIST ANYWHERE

TODAY…

BUT WE CAN CREATE IT!

…IF WE REMIND OURSELVES THATTHE TWO MOST IMPORTANT WORDS

ANY EDUCATOR CAN SAY TO ANY STUDENTARE THESE:

“Surprise me.”

SO LET’S ALL WORK HARD TOMAKE OUR EDUCATION ABOUT

REAL-WORLDACCOMPLISHMENT
