    I am wondering....What questions are taking shape for you regarding school transformation? Are they the same questions you might have been asking years ago? Or last year? And what are the questions that you think we need to be asking of our school transformation efforts in the next year? Five years?
    Thank you for your response!

    For me, I believe that transformation needs to be much Less focused on programs and More focused on processes. What are the Processes that are in place to ensure student voice, rigor, relevance, other ed buzz word, etc? Do we have a System in place which Really allows these things to occur Naturally?

    The biggest thing is that Inherent in programs is the assumption that we have the answers...when the question for each student is different. Processes allow for students to find their own answers and own best path to college and/or career.

    Additionally, processes allow for evolution in systems rather than requiring programmatic "change" across a school.
