Situation and Task:

The Boyd County Public Schools system desires to create, implement, and maintain a quality educational experience in which every member of the BCPS system (students, parents,

teachers, administrators, school board, etc.) plays a vital role in the stated vision, mission, and values. To this end, you are charged with assessing and evaluating current policies and practices to determine their effectiveness in achieving the

stated vision, mission, and values. Once assessing and evaluating these current policies and practices, you are to

design an educational experience of your own.


Procedures:

1. You may work in a small group (no more than 5) or individually

2. Together or individually, you are to create an entire school experience

3. You should start from scratch, although you may build upon policies and practices you deem to be effective

4. At some point, you must connect your ideas to the ideas of the authors we have read; you may bring in other research

material5. You will create a presentation for the class (corporately) and

smaller research-based products (individually)


Monday through Wednesday

Work in groups:

Building upon your Vision, Mission, and Values, begin building your school system. Think about all aspects of school… think about the

authors we have read and discussedCurriculum and content, methods, supervision, role of administration,

rules, discipline, school day schedule, etc.

By Wednesday, each groups should be able to articulate what this school system will look like based upon the stated vision, mission, and

values

Author Basic Belief

Seneca The Pursuit of wisdom sets us free - this pursuit establishes our humanity – we become virtuous through lifelong learning

Al-Ghazali Teachers and Students have equal responsibilities in teaching and learning – these mutual responsibilities lead us to wisdom

Wollstonecraft Education should be for all, regardless of race, class, gender – values are transmitted through education – all voices must be considered

New England Primer Education is the primary means for transmitting cultural morals and values – wisdom comes through devotion to a corporate morality

Douglass Reading and writing empowers us to free ourselves – avoiding education leads to slavery (physical, emotional, intellectual, etc.)

Newman The pursuit of knowledge for its own sake separates us from the lower creation – the pursuit of knowledge is its own end

Freire Education must reject the Banking Concept and foster inquiry – this inquiry is rooted in an equality between teacher and student

Feynman Students must take control of their own learning through inquiry – the simple learning of facts and processes is not education

Okakok Educators must be sensitive to the cultural differences in students – the entire community must participate in the educational process
