"Anyone in an environment that is not preparing him or her for a tougher future should move out fast”  John P. Kotter


Consider and comment on these eight "transformational change" ideas from my 2014 Grade 12 Business Leadership class. Their action-research project was to identify ideas  to make schools more innovative and to prepare students with 21st century learning skills  (Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity):

1) Project Based Learning

2) Autonomy and freedom to select path to achieve goals

3) Learning from failure and "reinventing to get it right"

4) Creativity and "brain training" classes

5) Standard teacher web sites

6) Twitter conversations 

7) Class discussion time at the end of all classes

8) Later start times and longer breaks between classes
