01: Creating Your Vision
We know that the current structure of school doesn't meet the needs of every learner. Begin to build a mindset that can construct a customized framework. 

02: Process-based Learning
Transitioning learners towards a process-driven model harnesses their creative and cognitive powers to think long-term. It's not just about getting it done, it's about thinking it through. 

03: Skills Drive Learning
Thinking skills underpin inquiry. These skills must be connected to every step of the process. 

​04: Aligning Standards
Pull back the curtain on standards and allow your learners to understand how they work. Then, they can figure out how their ideas link to the requirements set by your school, state, or the Common Core. 

​05: Meeting the Needs of Every Learner
When learners have the freedom to design their own projects, you begin to interact and understand them differently. This link becomes more obvious throughout the process. 

06: Building Community Buy-In
Top-down support is necessary for constructing a customized classroom. Build the capacity to relinquish control and give learners what they deserve. 

07: Empower Students for Life-long Learning
Help students recognize that learning, their process, and other soft skills are critical in every stage of life.
