RISC Approach to Schooling | Re-Inventing Schools Coalition - RISC. The RISC Approach to Schooling is a revolutionary approach to education that represents a dramatic shift in the educational process. The RISC approach is the first comprehensive school reform framework set up as a performance-based system rather than a Carnegie unit or time-based system.

Already being implemented by more than one hundred schools and 30 school districts in the United States, RISC has caught the attention of educators in countries around the world who see it as a pathway for delivering on the promise of education for every child. “The RISC Approach to Schooling is the most comprehensive and well-articulated approach to standards-based reform in the country.” Robert J. MarzanoLeading education researcher The RISC philosophy represents a radical paradigm shift from the traditional educational approach to one in which time is the variable and learning is the constant and students take true ownership of their learning.

Good schools start with good goals. I really like the goal statements from Danville Schools, a small district south of Lexington: I love the fact that this starts with learning experiences. I don’t talk about curriculum anymore because there are so many dated mental models associated with that word. I prefer to think about a linked sequence of experiences — increasingly a combination of a standards-aligned customized playlist and hands on, community connected, team based projects that culminate in quality multimedia products. Superintendent Carmen Coleman said, “Project-based learning immerses students in meaningful experiences that teach them to think critically, problem-solve and adapt, just to name a few of those most essential skills.”

I love the global preparedness in this statement and exhibited by, her team, and her board. I appreciate their focus on growth–for all students. I love the focus on writing and communication–it’s the right college and career focus. High Tech High. Big Picture. Welcome | EAGLE College Prep Elementary Schools. Welcome to Great Hearts Academies.
