As it started a design process to improve teaching and learning, Mastery Charter Schools first described their ideal future for teaching and learning for students with a special focus on the most marginalized. They envisioned confident, independent learners supported with personalized, blended, and culturally responsive teaching and authentic relationships with adults. This vision motivated the team and anchored the design work. The emphasis on personalized and culturally responsive support for students grounded the team in a shared vision for equity. Discussion of what it would take to enable personalization and blended learning helped the team start to align on a vision for resiliency in the network.
