CHRIS KENNEDYSuperintendent, West Vancouver School District

This is a story . . . of what I want schooling to look like

We all wear many hats

Hopes and Dreams not just for my kids, or your kids, but for all kids

Transformation

Inquiry

Personalization

SOMETHING MORE CONCRETE

Connected to their teacher, class and learning

Homework must have a purpose

Let the LEARNING be the prize

SPACE

Be very careful with busy work

We need to delay the ranking and sorting and focus on the LEARNING

Take good care of them and be MEMORABLE

We are in the midst of a TRANSFORMATION

My Kids, Your Kids, All Kids
