How will your child’s school look twenty years, ten years, or even five years from now? What knowledge will every child need as they move from kindergarten to graduation? How will instruction be delivered? These questions just begin to lay the groundwork for an in-depth discussion that will take place on March 29, 2010 during the 21st Century Schools meeting.
The Dearborn Public Schools, in conjunction with the Dearborn Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), the Dearborn Federation of Teachers, and the Dearborn Federation of School Employees, invite members of the community to take part in a discussion that will explore how 21st century learning must look, operate, and educate. The meeting will cover topics such as: what will students need to know in order to be successful graduates and how will schools utilize the tools at their disposal to properly deliver a 21st century curriculum. Registration will begin at 6:00 pm and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 pm in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 18700 Audette, Dearborn. There will be two follow-up meetings in April and May. If interested, please contact the Communication Office at 827-3006.
“If you ever wanted to be part of redesigning education, concerned about state and federal requirements having too much control over local school districts, or have ideas about how to make schools better, then you will want to take part in the 21st century school discussion,” commented Superintendent of Dearborn Schools, Mr. Brian Whiston.
Changes that are driven by the educational needs of students will take the cooperation and input from all stakeholders in the community. To begin the discussion on the 21st century school, many ideas from parents, students, educators, and community members must be considered. The 21st century schools meeting will be the start of a long discussion to determine what students must know in order to graduate, how our schools will look to meet those goals, and the future of schools in Dearborn.
