Ninety-five propositions for creating more relevant, more caring schools
There is a growing desire to reexamine education and learning. Educators use the phrase "school 2.0" to think about what schools will look like in the future. Moving beyond a basic examination of using technology for classroom instruction, Building School 2.0: How to Create the Schools We Need is a larger discussion of how education, learning, and our physical school spaces can—and should—change because of the changing nature of our lives brought on by these technologies.
Well known for their work in creating Science Leadership Academy (SLA), a technology-rich, collaborative, learner-centricschool in Philadelphia, founding principal Chris Lehmann and former SLA teacher Zac Chase are uniquely qualified to write about changing how we educate. The best strategies, they contend, enable networked learning that allows research, creativity, communication, and collaboration to help prepare students to be functional citizens within a modern society. Their model includes discussions of the following key concepts:
- Technology must be ubiquitous, necessary, and invisible
- Classrooms must be learner-centric and use backwards design principles
- Good technology can be better than new technology
- Teachers must serve as mentors and bring real-world experiences to students
Each section of Building School 2.0 presents a thesis designed to help educators and administrators to examine specific practices in their schools, and to then take their conclusions from theory to practice. Collectively, the theses represent a new vision of school, built off of the best of what has come before us, but with an eye toward a future we cannot fully imagine.

School Should Mirror the World as We Believe It Could Be
From Theory to Practice
- To prime your thinking as you move through the text, pause and take a moment to describe what you think school should be doing, what its role is in a modern world, and what success looks like. Let this thinking be a signpost as you explore this book.
- Start a conversation. As important as it is to think deeply about your own vision of what school can and should be, this book is designed as a conversation starter as well. As a thesis strikes you as relevant to your own place of learning and teaching, consider how you might use it to begin a larger conversation. Could you get time in a faculty meeting or a Parent-Teacher Association meeting, use it to inspire discussion as you have coffee with a colleague, or track key quotations and share them with a Listserv? Be on the lookout and be mindful. The more stories we share, the deeper our thinking will become.

We Must End Educational Colonialism
From Theory to Practice
- Start the conversation. The best way to allow educational colonialism to persist is to remain silent about its presence. The best way to fight it is to start conversations across classrooms, schools, and districts that share our practices, our learnings, and our resources. Seek out colleagues in online and physical spaces that may feel foreign to you, and begin a conversation about what learning and teaching can look like.
- Make the conversation come from a place of questioning. If the conversations in which we engage around education are nothing more than us making declarative statements about the way things should be and what others need, we're not setting ourselves up to learn. By asking people who hold different perspectives to share their understandings of needs and their ideas for what will best serve to meet those needs, you're opening up to new understandings.
