When school systems have the support to embrace systemic change and teachers have the support to design deeper learning experiences for their students, everyone succeeds. Our classrooms need this support so that our students gain the necessary global competencies that will prepare them for the world today and tomorrow. This is <em>the work</em> we all need to embrace in our schools.</p>--Pam Estvold, Assistant Superintendent, Teaching and Learning; (7/19/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>Self-understanding and self-regulation are foundational skills to support autonomous learners and are fundamental for working in socially embedded environments in the real world or online.
