During Phase 2, we would combine this stakeholder engagement with an analysis of the critical factors in the education landscape
Scan for conditions, trends and assumptions about what’s coming in the future (locally and nationally)
Identify those “big shifts” that are inevitable (e.g., AI)
Based on this, forecast various scenarios and how they may influence the future of District 214 and education as a whole
Assumptions might include:
Shifts in curriculum and instruction
Technology innovation
Local demographic shifts
Local economic shifts
Policy/governmental changes
We would then facilitate the district to define several components of the long-range vision, grounded in the “core ideology” and taking into account the critical factors
