P4 of 5: "There is increasing interest in just-in-time, alternate, or non-formal avenues of education"

2010 Horizon Report: K12 Edition was just released this week. It lists five trends and develops a story around them. You can view the full report here

The fourth trend:

There is increasing interest in just-in-time, alternate, or non-formal avenues of education, such as online learning, mentoring, and independent study. More and more, the notion of the school as the seat of educational practice is changing as learners avail themselves of learning opportunities from other sources. There is a tremendous opportunity for schools to work hand-in-hand with alternate sources, to examine traditional approaches, and to reevaluate the content and experiences they are able to offer.

As the Franklin community gets into the discussion

1) around the Town budget and the School budget (which is about 50% of the Town budget)

2) on what priorities should be set (classroom instruction vs after school activities, etc.)

let's also consider how our current level service school budget meets the needs of the students. Yes, we are a high performing district. What do we need to do to remain one? (Besides obtaining appropriate funding!)

"We're helping the community"

Despite gray skies, a small army of local residents yesterday helped make Franklin and Medway green in honor of Earth Day.
In Franklin, about 100 students, residents, and even non-residents donned rain jackets and boots as they picked up trash and planted flowers at Beaver Pond.

P3 of 5: "The perceived value of innovation and creativity is increasing."

2010 Horizon Report: K12 Edition was just released this week. It lists six trends and develops a story around them. You can view the full report here

The third trend:
The perceived value of innovation and creativity is increasing. Innovation is valued at the highest levels of business and must be embraced in schools if students are to succeed beyond their formal education. The ways we design learning experiences must reflect the growing importance of innovation and creativity as professional skills. Innovation and creativity must not be linked only to arts subjects, either; these skills are equally important in scientific inquiry, entrepreneurship, and other areas as well.
