How to Design a Super School

Taking on the XQ Challenge as a team

HOW TO DESIGN A SUPER SCHOOL

It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS

Our education system.

2

We have a massive opportunity to make a difference for every single young person growing up in America.

3

4

The challenges in our world are changing faster than ever…

5

and our schools are failing to prepare students to meet those challenges.

6

According to U.S. Census Bureau, our states put 26–40% of their budgets toward education.

And every day, we entrust our students to a system which is a total mystery.

7

This is the moment for us to take back the responsibility for educating our youth. To get involved.

To lead the way.

To rebuild our education system and build a better way of preparing young Americans for the future.

8

We can create hope.

9

It starts with people like

YOU.

1010

YOU

1111

…who have the audacity to look with fresh eyes at a failing and outdated system.

1212

YOU

1313

…who have the creativity to imagine a truly student-centered school, built to serve young people in the best possible way.

YOU

14

1515

…who have the courage to challenge entrenched beliefs and fight for a school that is worthy of young Americans.

16

Our shared ambition is to rethink the American high school. To transform this one-hundred-year-old institution.

16

17

To provide young Americans with the opportunities they deserve.For today, and—as important—for tomorrow.

17

18

To do this, we need a better definition of what kind of graduates our schools must produce—people who have deep mastery of the literacies.

19

And the skills and traitsthey need to thrive in the coming era.

20

We call this

21

A kind of X Factor for describing curious, nimble, resilient people who are truly prepared for our complex and uncertain world.

22

We are starting to see a new definition of what our schools must produce. We must develop these skills and traits—and others like them—so America can lead in a world that is uncertain, constantly changing, and yet also full of opportunity. It’s about our students being fully ready.

:A DEFINITION

Original thinkersfor an uncertainworld. Sense-makers—dealing

with conflicting knowledge.

Generative thinkers— creating many ideas in ambiguous and new situations.

Creative thinkers— reframing, imagining, and seeing problems from different perspectives.

Masters of allfundamental literacies.

Building the academic core necessary to prepare for college, career, and life.

Critical readers .

Compelling writers.

Mathematical and numeric thinkers.

Data and visual thinkers.

23

Generous collaborators for tough problems.

Self-aware team members who bring their strengths. Talent-seekers who find the expertise of others. Essential co-creators—because of what they bring, and how they show up. Inquisitive world citizens who seek out—and respect—diversity and diverse points of view.

Holders offoundationalknowledge.

Curious people who are knowledgeable about the world. Its history and culture. Its sciences and underlying mathematics. Its biology and cultural currency.

Engaged participants who are key to creating a more just and functional democracy— who participate fully in all America has to offer.

Learnersfor life. Self-driven, self-directed.

Curious learners—about themselves, and the world. Inventors of their own learning paths, careers, and lives.

With that in mind, start with a clean sheet.

25

UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY.

Then,

26

WELCOME TO THE

SUPERSCHOOL PROJECT

27

A challenge unlike any other.

A chance to rethink how we educate our youth.

An opportunity to design a super school— an American high school worthy of the future.

28

The teams with the most innovative ideas will win access to resources, experts, and funding to help build a new high school for the young people in the communities they want to serve.

29

At xqsuperschool.org, you’ll find information about the challenge—the requirements, the application, and the due dates.

30

On this journey, you will likely speak with or work with young people who are under 18. It is important to respect the safety and privacy of minors. If you will be meeting with minors, be sure to get permission from their families first. Any materials in your application that feature the voices or images of young people need to be accompanied by a signed release.

IMPORTANT:

You can find release forms at the back of this book. You can find more information at xqsuperschool.org.

Building a super school—whether you participate in this challenge or not— is a journey that requires tenacity, courage, curiosity, and ingenuity.

It requires understanding the mindsets of the young people your school will serve. It requires challenging the status quo. It requires bold leadership.

To help you through the journey, the XQ Institute has put together a set of tools you and your team can use.

Here’s what you need to do to create a student-centered super school.

33

Building a school is an organic process, and you can approach it any way you wish.

But the journey is not a straight path. And along the way you’ll likely experience a few major breakthroughs—leaps of insight—that will both define your school and show you that you’re heading in the right direction.

The rest of this book outlines these major breakthroughs.

Come up with an innovative SCHOOL CONCEPT.

DISCOVER the needs of the students your school will serve.

DESIGN transformative learning experiences for those students.

Teams that move forward will work with experts to DEVELOP a rigorous plan for tackling every aspect of launching their super school—from staffing to facilities to performance measurement.

36

Designing a new school—especially one founded on a concept that challenges the norm—is an audacious goal. Taking on this challenge requires the concerted efforts of passionate, talented people.

Much of the talent you’ll need on your team can be found all around you. You can also recruit virtual members to your team. Your kit includes a few tools to help you think through casting your team.

If you need help connecting with experts or other committed people, you can search the XQ Community at xqsuperschool.org.

When you find the right Core Members, you’ll know it. However, your team of Close Collaborators will likely shift over time, depending on the changing needs of the project. Whenever your team needs additional help and expertise, use these tools to think about whose help you need.

To ensure our school truly serves the needs of the community, we plan to get input from young people by: [How will you find out what young people think? How will you learn what they are looking for in a future school? What have you learned so far?]

To get insights into how we can prepare our students for postsecondary education and the future of work, we plan to: [How will you get input from educators, employers, higher education, and other constituencies about the knowledge and competencies students need?]

Our school will also build on the inspiring examples, research, and ideas of others:[What are 2-3 resources, from the XQ website or elsewhere, that you would encourage everyone in the community to read/watch, and why?]

THE INSIGHTS WE WILL SEEK OUT:

We are: Our school will be organized as a:

A school should be built first and foremost to serve its students and their learning needs.

To create a super school that’s innovative, engaging, and prepares students for a thriving future, you need to understand your students. Their needs, aspirations, and dreams for the future. The latest science on how youth learn. The latest data on the community and how it’s serving its students now.

Your kit includes tools to help you learn about the community you want to serve and how well (or poorly) the education system is working for young people growing up there.

At the heart of your school is an original, groundbreaking idea (or set of ideas) that makes what you’re doing truly unique. These are the ideas that inspire you, that will shape the student experience, that will get young people excited about attending, that enable your school to help students achieve their dreams.

After discovering all you can about the community your school will serve, reflect back on your school concept. Do you need to reshape your concept to better meet the needs of young people? Craft a powerful mission statement that clarifies what your team wants to achieve.

Articulating what makes your school unique

43

What are the most important things our school needs to do for young people?

How will we develop a culture that guides the direction of our school?

How should we describe the mission of our school to the world?

Use what you discovered to design a super school for young people in the community.

Propose an innovative school model. How will you describe your school to others in the community?

Put yourself in a student’s shoes. How will learning be different, more rigorous, exciting? How will their learning experiences prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century? How will students take charge of their learning? How will students connect with their community and the wider world?

In addition to its core mission, every school is defined by the learning experiences of its students. The everyday experiences of students shape the development of their knowledge, their sense of identity, their creativity, and their sense of ownership over their learning.

Too many schools are boring. Too many schools don’t speak to students in ways that have meaning for them. So it’s critical that learning experiences be both engaging and instructive—that’s part of the point of redesigning high school.

This is no easy task, so your kit includes a couple great tools to help you dive into a creative process for innovating and designing compelling experiences.

Breakthrough 5

Crafting transformative learning experiences

How might teachers at our school inspire young people to want to learn more outside the classroom?

What learning experiences would young people be eager to dive into?

How can we design learning experiences so that students learn through teaching each other?

Schools, like people, are not islands. Every school is an integral part of its community. High school, in particular, is a stepping stone to college and to future career opportunities. Whatever path a student chooses, they will benefit from going to a school that creates many pathways for them to experience the wider world.

To create pathways that generate richer learning experiences for all young people, your school needs strong partnerships with other organizations in the community. Local colleges. Employers who can provide work-study programs. Community-based organizations. Social networks. Past and present inspirational thought leaders from around the world.

Your kit includes a guide with a simple approach, to help you enlist the movers and shakers in the community your school will serve.
