Maine ASCD Conference Pathways to Proficiency ~ April 14, 2014
OUR CORE BELIEFS
All students can learn.
Students learn in different ways, in different settings and at different rates for different futures.
OUR DATA STORY
“Relatively well” for many years
Relatively well = Not good enough
LOOKING AHEAD
Students were not immersed in the 4C’s essential for the 21st
Century.
Today’s students are moving beyond the basics and embracing the 4C’s — “super skills” for the 21st century!
CommunicationSharing thoughts, questions,
ideas, and solutions
CollaborationWorking together to reach a
goal — putting talent, expertise, and smarts to work
Critical ThinkingLooking at problems in
a new way, linking learning across subjects & disciplines Creativity
Trying new approaches to get things done equals
innovation & invention
