Vision

Vision

 * **We believe** that dynamic teaching & learning in the 21st century requires a community of networked professionals to support our individual and collective development.
 * **We believe** that all of us are figuring out what it means to be teachers and learners in the 21st century.
 * **We believe** that being a 21st century teacher and learner is // not // about the tools or technology itself.
 * ** We believe ** that being a 21st century teacher and learner is about asking, "What is possible?" (and letting the tools be catalysts).
 * **We believe** that such a network must be developed collectively -- within our own school, within our community of schools, and around the globe.
 * **We believe** that such a network provides students (and ourselves) with resources and mentoring in a //just-in-time, asynchronous// manner.
 * **We believe** that none of us can be the final 'expert' in our subjects in the digital age (and in the ways information has exponentially exploded).
 * **We believe** that our classrooms should expand our abilities to ask the right questions, seeking agile solutions for novel situations in the 21st century.
 * **We believe** that our classrooms can no longer be limited to what takes place within our 4 walls.
 * **We believe** that the 'teacher' in the classroom can no longer be the single 'audience' for our students.
 * **We believe** that our students work must have authentic local & global audiences to share their ideas, work, and projects with as they are developed.
 * **We believe** that we must share the 'process' of learning, exploring, experimentation, and revisions, not just the 'ideal' finished product(s).

Goals

 * To bring teachers and administrators from independent schools together to 'spark' conversations about how best to educate students for 21st century citizenship.
 * To be a catalyst for ideas and relationships that will improve all of our schools.
