Dearborn Schools Seeks Community Input

How will your child’s school look 20 years, 10 years, or even five years from now? What knowledge will every child need as they move from kindergarten to graduation? How will instruction be delivered?

These questions just begin to lay the groundwork for an in-depth discussion that will take place on March 29, 2010 during the 21st Century Schools meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the Board Room of the Dearborn School’s Administration Building, 18700 Audette.

The Dearborn Public Schools, in conjunction with the Dearborn Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), the Dearborn Federation of Teachers, and the Dearborn Federation of School Employees, are inviting members of the community to take part in the first of many discussions that will explore how 21st century learning must look, operate, and educate.

The meeting will cover an array of topics, including what will students need to know in order to be successful graduates and how will schools utilize the tools at their disposal to properly deliver a 21st century curriculum. Changes that are driven by the educational needs of students will take the cooperation and input from all stakeholders in the community.

Registration will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. There will be two follow-up meetings in April and May. Those interested may contact the Dearborn School’s Communication Office at 827-3006.

“If you ever wanted to be part of redesigning education, concerned about state and federal requirements having too much control over local school districts, or have ideas about how to make schools better, then you will want to take part in the 21st century school discussion,” said Brian Whiston, Dearborn schools superintendent.

    Great opportunity for parents to speak up with their concerns.

  • This bitter old man

    Hell, like Whiston cares.

    if you were reading the entire thing, you’d notice it’s NOT just Whiston who’s involved in this. There are Teachers, parents, and employees of the district that are all involved in this forum!

    I agree with Donna, this is a GREAT opportunity for people to speak up about their concerns AND be involved in the OUTCOME of where our schools are going to go!

    What’s a shame is that people won’t take the time to come to this and try to be a part of the solution. Instead they will come to blogs and whine about what’s happening. When you have a golden opportunity to be part of the solution people need to at least attempt to do so!

    Come and see what you can do for the future of our schools and community. Just MY opinion!
