Describe Your Ideal School or District
Put one word that describes conditions in your ideal school/district on each note card.
Continue until you have listed everything that is needed to make an ideal school/district.
Build the school
At your tables:• Discuss the attributes of your ideal
school/district.• Using the cards and tape, make connections
and build a school. • How do the attributes relate to one another? • Each school can have a unique design.
Build a district
Turn to a group near you.• How are your schools similar?• How are they different?• How might you connect them to be
a district?• Are there things that might need to
be added or adjusted to build a coherent district?
Bringing it to life
If this school/district came to life, what would student achievement data tell us?
• What trends and patterns would you predict?
• How does that connect to the attributes that built your school and district?
