TEAM YELLOW: FINAL ROADMAP

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 10 min - Overview: 5 min - Ice breaker: 5 min Icebreaker format: - State your name - Where you’re from - One word to describe how you’re feeling

Procedures

1. Within 5 minutes, each Advisor writes down as many problems or challenges they perceive:
• INSIDE OF THE HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM or IN HIGH SCHOOL  EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
• Example: “High schools are failing our students in math, they can’t relate and it is boring for them.”

Notes:

• Use one Post-it for each problem/challenge
• You will select up to 5 problems/challenges to share with the Team

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 5 min

1. Little career progression for HS teachers- variety of different opportunities but not the same as tech/other professions.(IS)

2. People need school for widely different reasons. A lot of stuff that people need out of the school that is beyond just learning.(IS)

1. Little relevance to learners purpose. (JS)

2. Focus on abstract knowledge acquisition rather than expertise development.(JS)

1. Low agency- Manage the way you engage with the world. HS are designed to systematically inhibit agency development. not focused on developing sense of purpose. massive boredom, low engagement, low relevance (TVA)

1. Lack of supporting staff- Bus drivers, custodians (AM)
2. Methods and modes of instruction is very dated and doesn't meet the expectations of students. (AM)
3. Low room for creativity; students dont get to explore their own passions or interest; more focused on compliance
4. Low social relevancy, hard to connect to real world problems. how students are helping the world and engaging with others — more about meta knowledge; they why and how learners see themselves day to day, the community that they're in. Connecting and influencing your community
5. Toxic Test and AP culture; skirting through the development that should be happening to game the standards ;
1. Both Game Design and Reward system is fundamentally flawed.
2. Avoiding game gives teachers the room to maneuver.
3. Game within a larger game (larger context)
6. Lack of Proximity of 21st century learning skills
7. State of the American student - everything is worse than it was three years ago. ex. Increase in feelings in sadness and hopelessness, Academic outcomes are worse. Basic bars that are being missed (literacy) —
1. Lost students post- pandemic, mental health at all time low.
8. Anonymity that continues to reign on most high schools - large HS, with students with most needs, student feel unknown and alienated.
1. Default state for many high schools
9. Community partners- don’t know how to participate and teachers struggle to make connections
1. Connectedness to community, institutions, etc- is being broken in high school structures
10. Behavior/Discipline/Classroom Management
11. Advising- FAFSA, studying for SAT, students fall through the cracks

Epistemological difference in the room- Knowledge acquisition to develop purpose/identity vs. Developing purpose/identity to acquire knowledge

Missing: Parents Expectations, demanding change and parents drive a lot of expectations in high school- activated constituent

AI and the potential for AI to reimagine education

Themes:

Procedures

• Each Advisor selects up to 2-3 problems/challenges to share with the Team, spending ~30 seconds on each problem/challenge (3 mins max per Advisor)

https://melissawoodhealth.com/classes

• After each Advisor shares, Facilitator takes the Post-its and attaches them to the rolling easel, grouping common problems/challenges together

Timer [seated]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 30 min - Each Advisor: 3 min max Reminders Facilitator should: - Remind others to respect the time constraint and to listen to the shared problems/challenges - Track the time for each Advisor - Collect the Post-its from each Advisor - Group common post-its together Note-taker should: - Note-taker will take a photo of each advisor’s board of post-its 📷 and upload all of them to this section of the Notion section. - Summarize each Advisor’s conversation on the shared problems/challenges

Procedures

1. Each Advisor receives two red dots to vote on the most pressing problems, doing so silently

2. Facilitator moves the top 3 problems/challenges based on the number of votes to the middle of the easel

Notes:

• If there is a tie-breaker, Advisors will vote for the top problem/challenge by using their hand

Timer [standing]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 5 min Facilitator reminds Advisors to vote silently

Procedure

1. The top 3 problems/challenges are rephrased by the Team. The team works to reframe the problem into a "How might we...?" statement.

Example:

Problem: “We have no means of measuring the efficacy of these AI tools my students are using."

Reframed: "How might we create means of measurement and efficacy of AI products?"

Timer [standing]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 5 min

Note-taker captures the “How might we...” statements

V4: How might we create more meaningful experiences for students that allow them to enact their purpose in the world?

V2. How might we optimize the community that supports learning ecosystems in our schools? Think about: AI & Technology

Procedure

1. Brainstorm. Allowing 5 mins for each of the top problems/challenges, each Advisor writes down as many solutions they have for the specific problem/challenge
• The format for Solutions on a Post-it should be no more than 3 sentences, which sounds similar to an “elevator pitch”
• Given the current landscape of companies and AI products, hold space for how technology may play a role in each solution Post-it
• Example solution: “Build the most dynamic curriculum on becoming an Entrepreneur; using AI co-pilot trained on insights from world-famous business leaders.”
2. This process will be repeated for the problem/challenge, totaling 15 mins
3. Shareout. Each Advisor selects up to 3 solutions to share with the Team, spending 1:30 min max per advisor on sharing solutions (~30 secs on each solution). Limit to three sentences “elevator pitch.”
4. Sorting. After each Advisor shares, Facilitator takes all solution Post-its from the Advisor and attaches them to the rolling easel. Team reads all solutions and [if applicable] Team supports in sorting common solutions under each problem/challenge

Timer [seated]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 40 min - Solutions for each problem/challenge (total 3): 5 mins - Solutions discussion (1:30 min each): ~15 mins Reminders Facilitator should: - Encourage as many solutions to be written. No pressure on “over” designing - Reminder others to respect the time constraint and to listen to the shared problems/challenges - Track the time for each Advisor - Collect the Post-its from each Advisor Note-taker should: Summarize each Advisor’s conversation on the solutions

V4: How might we create more meaningful experiences for students that allow them to enact their purpose in the world?

AI enabled career path maker: Reverse path from career choices, What skills in classes are important to learn. AI enabled bot could help me plot that path, could track progress along the way. Mentor matching - other professionals who have walked that path/in that space

Key Stone Programs: SystemsGO, includes competition which allows orientation of the self.

Visualization Platform: Depicts each school community in a vibrant way, shows everyone where they fit and what systems exist around them. Could Identify gaps. every student, parent, teacher, etc would be on boarded onto it

AI Generated interdisciplinary and endlessly adaptive curriculum, particularly as it pertains to student interests without diminishing rigor

Implementing AI at the logistical layer of education; to support curation of learning environments - allow the teacher to have time before & after work to have space for conversation (Both)

Inputting project that students created to extract the standards and competencies

Generative AI version of scratch,

V2. How might we optimize the community that supports learning ecosystems in our schools?

AI enabled gig economy model for schools / remote options: AI enabled matching app. Opens up options to micro financing and transactions

+Identify needs in the community / beyond my community

Launch a learning experience network: Network that allows students to access client projects, Ex: EPIC; help communities create projects that are important to the student and community.

Embed Learning in the Full Community:

Learner driven experiences: HS students going to MS/Elementary students

Create or enhance digital platform that will enhance co teaching- facilitate match making between them

Using tech to allow a student to create their own board of advisor: mid high school and into high school

AI Advisor: Upload info, Generate a FAFSA, for you send reminders to students, events, equivalent of helicopter parents.

Procedure

1. Each Advisor receives 5 red dots to vote on the most appealing solutions, doing so silently

Notes:

• If there is a tie-breaker, Advisors will vote for the top problem/challenge by using their hand
• Only 1 vote per solution

Timer [standing]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 5 min

Procedures

1. Facilitator selects at least 3 and at most 5 of the most voted-on solutions and moves them to the top of the matrix side of the easel

2. Advisors discuss each of the solutions to determine the feasibility and place the solution on the “Effort vs. Impact” matrix
• Vertical axis: level of impact of the solution
• Horizontal axis: level of effort required to create the solution

3. Each Advisor receives 1 green dot to vote on the most appealing solution from the matrix, doing so silently.
4. By the end of this session, the team has landed on one idea to build a roadmap for.

Notes:

• The objective of this exercise is to gather consensus, if not a majority, on where to place each solution on the matrix

Timer [standing]

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 20 min - Placing solutions on matrix: 15 mins - Vote on matrix: 5 mins

FACILITATOR AND NOTE-TAKER GUIDELINES Total time available: 15 min Facilitator should guide the Team back to workspaces Note-takers should take a photo of all easels
