Elements of our Futures Plan and Invitation to the Futures Summit

How do all of the pieces of AISC work together? How does the Futures Plan connect with elements already in the AISC system? This helpful graphic looks to connect AISC's foundational documents to the Futures Plan's yearly goals.


We hope that is clear that what we think and what we do are connected, and our 2018-2019 goals, shared on the blog last week will help us achieve our mission. 

On the right hand side of the blog, I've also updated the Community Planning Team to reflect our new members. Congratulations! Finally, I've added the final version of the Futures Plan. 

I hope to see many people come out to the Futures Summit on Friday, September 7, from 1:00–4:00pm where will look at the evolution of work and some new insights into education and create what school could look like in the years to come. We look forward to seeing you in the Hall of Light!
