FUTURE READY TODAY:WHERE BEST PRACTICES MEET NEXT PRACTICES
Raymond J. McNulty, President

“The future is not some place we are going to, but one we arecreating. The paths are not found, but made, and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.”
--John Schaar

The primary aim of education is not to enable students to do well in school, but to help them do well in the lives they lead outside of school.
Making a better “20th Century School”
is not the answer.
Many of our efforts to transform education look like the same old system!
Current Standards
and Assessments
CCSS and NGA
Systems are challenged today like never before and the key challenge that we face is results.

The best strategy to use in this environment of results is to “DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE.”
Broaden the definition of learning in your system to include adults.
The focus must be on the way we work.• Cooperation is a hallmark way of doing
from the past. It is about efficiency, you do this and I will do that.
• Collaboration is what we need to focus on in our work. Collaboration is the process of shared creation. Collaboration is not anchored in the process, it’s focus is all about the specific result.
WE need to become the AGENTS of change.

Third Key TrendThird Key Trend
Effect Size
• 1.0 indicates one standard deviation typically associated with advancing children’s achievement by two or more years (improving the rate of learning by 50%)

Some data• Student expectations of self 1.44
• Providing formative evaluation .90
• Formative Processes
• Teacher Clarity .75

The Fundamental Attribution Error
• When we look at our own behavior we tend to situation that surrounds our action.
• When we look at the behavior of others we tend to make assumptions about their personal qualities.
The Effects of Praise
• Fixed Mindset / Growth Mindset
• Can’t hand confidence to learners on a silver platter.
Social Skills• We are really good at things like content
skills, rules, regulations, strategies, etc. but we are terrible at discussing and coaching on social skills.
• David Brooks, “The Social Animal”
Talking with kids…
It’s not us against them!
CULTURE DRIVES STRATEGY
TO DO THE JOB WELL
• QUANTITATIVE DATA
• QUALITATIVE DATA

A Story….• Not a bad idea, but to
earn a grade more than a C+, the idea has to be viable! (Yale Professor)

expert’s mind there are few.”
First practice must change, then results, then policy.

• Closing Remarks
IF WE WANT..• Children to be learners who think, read,
reason and express themselves effectively in multiple ways…
• Then we must show them thoughtful people eager to take in and use new information.
IF WE WANT..• Our children to be brave and resourceful
when confronted with the unknown…
• Then they must see us taking risks and finding new ways to move ahead.
IF WE WANT..• A new and better educational system that
educates all our children for success in the 21st Century….
• We will have to be new and better leaders in our profession so that we can be “Develop the Next Practices needed to educate our students well”
• Effective and efficient approaches to increasing student achievement • Successful practices for teaching and learning from the nation’s most rapidly
improving schools• Practical strategies for using rigor, relevance, and relationships to increase
instructional effectiveness• Innovative tools and resources to support the transition to more rigorous
assessments
