“Today, when the shelf life of any
specialized knowledge is so fleeting,
we need to think of readiness as not
merely a collection of specific
skills, but as a broader set of human
aspects- self-direction, curiosity,
persistence, and the willingness to
take risks.”
Daniel Pink (American School Board Journal, September, 2007)
 What year are you preparing your
students for?
 "Every textbook you have is dated.
Look at curriculum that way...think
of the word binder - bound -
shackled.”

The initial assignment: Relocating
Internationally
 A local company is looking to build a
factory in the Middle East.
 They have asked for help in
researching which area/ country
would be the best to build.
 You will research a country in the
Middle East
 Through conversation we realized
many of us had connections living in
the Middle East
 We contacted them to ask permission
for our students to reach out to
them
 Students sent an initial email asking
them to participate in the class
project & for a best way to
communicate
 Some experts were only able to
connect via traditional email because
of connectivity issues.
› Great way to get students to work on
written communication skills!
 Some were able to use video email.
 One was able to Skype during the
class period
› Students had prepared questions
› The session was recorded and later
 Students were engaged/focused on
speaker
 Because background research had
been done, questions asked were
relevant
 The answers produced more
questions
 The students were not ready to leave
when the bell rang
 Remember the initial assignment –
helping a company relocate to the
Middle East
 Students now had relevant, real
world information to help them
decide which country would be best
 Start small
 Don’t be afraid to ask
 Ask even if you don’t think there is a
connection
 Enlist your colleagues

  • 16. The initial assignment: Relocating Internationally  A local company is looking to build a factory in the Middle East.  They have asked for help in researching which area/ country would be the best to build.  You will research a country in the Middle East
  • 17.  Through conversation we realized many of us had connections living in the Middle East  We contacted them to ask permission for our students to reach out to them  Students sent an initial email asking them to participate in the class project & for a best way to communicate
  • 18.  Some experts were only able to connect via traditional email because of connectivity issues. › Great way to get students to work on written communication skills!  Some were able to use video email.  One was able to Skype during the class period › Students had prepared questions › The session was recorded and later
  • 19.  Students were engaged/focused on speaker  Because background research had been done, questions asked were relevant  The answers produced more questions  The students were not ready to leave when the bell rang
  • 20.  Remember the initial assignment – helping a company relocate to the Middle East  Students now had relevant, real world information to help them decide which country would be best
  • 21.  Start small  Don’t be afraid to ask  Ask even if you don’t think there is a connection  Enlist your colleagues
