MITx: 11.154x Launching Innovation in Schools
Activity: Vision Research
You've looked at two examples of school systems developing a cohesive vision, Mashpee Public Schools and the Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School. Did you see something in these visions that you liked? Explore that further!
For this activity, research examples of schools with visions, and also initiatives, that you find to be especially appealing and/or are particularly relevant to your problem of practice. 
Start by taking just 10 minutes and do more if it seems helpful. Consider examples in the course and elsewhere. Take a look at the Model Menu on the next page. You might go to websites like Edutopia or KQED MindShift. Maybe you'll find reports from schools that are working towards something that is both relevant and valuable for you.
There are many educational models, tools, and innovations to consider. When you're looking at a certain model or tool, etc., think about how, and if, it fits with your school.
Please share a promising model, tool, or innovation with your classmates. Provide a brief summary and explain why you think it's especially appealing or particularly relevant.
Take the time to read what your classmates have shared; it could be just what you're looking for.
