What You Should Know ●What If… ●Current Challenges ●AUSD Under New Funding Formula

We Believe... Most assumptions about public education in America and California have been challenged or blown up in the last couple years. Common Core Standards Open Source Online Resources School Funding Connected Learning We have a small window of opportunity to redefine what we value and how public education will look

“A child asks about 40,000 questions between the ages of two and five.” -Paul Harris, Harvard child psychologist 13,000 x 2 = 26,000

Innovation, Technology & Asking the Right Questions Innovate - to do something in a new way : to have new ideas about how something can be done

A 21st Century Education “We have to go from what is essentially an industrial model of education, a manufacturing model, which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people. We have to move to a model that is based more on principles of agriculture. We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it’s an organic process. And you cannot predict the outcome of human development. All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish.” -Sir Ken Robinson
