Framing the Vision
Student Development & Engagement
Honor, Survey, Study
Honor the Roots:
The Lighthouse Network was founded on principles of strong academics, arts infusion, and attention to the social & emotional development of the children it serves. In the organizational archives there are artifacts of intent, lessons learned, and stories to be told that would enrich the advancement of a new Student Development and Engagement Framework.
Survey the Lighthouse Landscape:
Examining the space between the vision and the reality sets the stage for development of new ideas. A thorough survey of Lighthouse schools and stakeholders would bring new dimension to strengths of implementation and opportunities for learning and growth in each of the Framework realms.
Study Promising Practices:
On-going study of the visionaries in the fields of arts, creativity, emotional intelligence, and engaged teaching and learning will keep the Framework grounded in research. Finding schools who have successfully bridged between research and practice will bring context and practicality to the Framework.
