Session 4, May 20th, 7pm UTC: The Agentic Schools Manifesto – Turning talk into action. Session 5, May 27th, 7pm UTC: World Systems Solutions – Moving towards a global learning ecosystem. RCE Making Change Stick Discussion Group Back-to-Basics 2.0 SurveyYou’ve heard of Back-to-Basics, but that phrase is currently defined in a partisan way. I want to redefine that phrase to mean something that is universally beneficial in all schools. Back-to-Basics 2.0 is about the duty of care that all educators owe to school children. In recent versions of The Agentic Schools Manifesto I laid out the four core principles along with many supporting statements.I want to refine the statements that make up Back-to-Basics 2.0 by getting feedback from smart folks like you. I have created a survey for each core principle to assess how much of a consensus exists on these principles and refine them as needed. Each survey ends with a link to the next.
Back-to-Basics 2.0 Consensus Survey Thank you for your support! If you’d like to preview the statements you can check out this 4-page PDF (~10Mb): Back-to-Basics 2.0 Handout The surveys have 18, 7, 4, and 14 statements for review.
