What School Could Be

Every school has change agents passionate about helping their school reach its full potential. A school that’s crackling with learning. Students who are engaged and inspired. Teachers trusted as professionals to create learning experiences that help each student blossom. Where everyone has a bounce in their step, with a sense of purpose from work that matters.

Join the growing What School Could Be community, and start unleashing the full potential of your school’s students and educators. Sign up for a short, informal introductory course. Invite some colleagues to explore this powerful change model and join you in elevating learning and life outcomes in your school.

What School Could Be offers you unparalleled support. We help you mobilize your school community to an inspiring vision. We catalyze teacher-led ‘small steps’ that -- over time -- transform your school. Students equipped with the skills to direct and manage their learning. Learning with real-world applicability. Authentic assessments that capture student mastery of competencies that matter. A school community that’s caring and connected. Joyful, enduring progress, built through small steps leading to big change.

And if you don’t currently view yourself as a change agent, chances are that it’s in you. Watch a few of the short videos featured in the app, and ask yourself, “Is our school preparing students for their futures, or just for standardized exams, college admissions, and more years of formal instruction? Is there urgency in aspiring to a better vision of what our school could be? Can I help make this happen?”

You entered the profession to engage and inspire your students, to help them blossom into adults prepared to lead fulfilling lives. Why settle for less, when a joyful change process awaits? There’s no better time to take this on than during this pandemic-disrupted school year, where agency and authenticity make all the difference. So get started, today.
