5 pain points:
A different kind of school: These schools have personalization, real-world connections, and they all hold a common intellectual mission. It's not about fitting more content into the curriculum, its about deepening the quality of analysis. They want to serve a student body that mirrors the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the local communities, Integrate technical and academic education, increase the number of educationally disadvantaged students, and graduate students who will be thoughtful and engaged citizens.
A different kind of teacher: Teaching is different because the teachers focus is on the individual student. They are more of a facilitator to them than an instructor sitting in front of the class giving a lecture. Teachers meet with a team of teachers twice a week to plan and talk about their students.
A different kind of student: The students are excited about school and they are confident in themselves because of their school and teachers.
Successful schools are diverse: different kids do best in different kinds of environments. One size doesn't fit all. Schools really need to teach the seven survival skills.
Schools/ teachers listen to students and adjust accordingly: Student and teachers have better relationships. No student is left behind and the teachers truly care about their students. They actually listen to their students, which makes the school a much better place to learn effectively and feel comfortable in. The school is a better environment.
