Teacher Shortage

172 school Districts in Arizona, four months into the 2017-18 school year, experienced 8,595 teaching positions still needing to be filled in Arizona* (December 2017 ASPAA Survey Results) One quarter of new teachers leave the profession within one year, and nearly half leave within three years. 1 out of 3 Arizona teachers have been in the classroom for four years or less. Arizona is losing more teachers each year than it is producing from bachelor of education programs at its three state universities.

Project Goals

Engage students in a dynamic learning environment that promotes academic excellence and prepares them to be innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Deploy educators in non-traditional ways by creating new roles and staffing structures which will attract and retain high-quality staff and reinvigorate the teaching profession.

Why do we need to redesign a school of the future…

Our students said…”we need to redesign the school of the future to challenge students.”→

Why? “Because students need to be pushed to grow by stepping

• utside of

their comfort zone.”→ Why? “Because students need to learn to always aim to improve and how to respond to daunting tasks.”→ Why? “Because in the real world, there is no shortage of challenges and students need to prepare for.”→ Why? “Because generation has new ideas with which comes new challenges with which comes new solutions.”

Curriculum design

Educators are seen as curriculum designers who:

• Craft multi-disciplinary learning experiences
• Select resources depending on need and purpose
• Connect learners with real-life experiences
• Build community connections
• Coach students as they learn about complexity and

uncertainty

Students demonstrate their learning through:

• Performance of meaningful and complex tasks
• Demonstration of proficiency by doing (real-world)
• Application of learning through analysis and synthesis
• Displaying direct evidence of a skill and knowledge
• Student-structured integrated challenges in which a wide

range of skills and knowledge must be used
