What Does Your School's 21st Century Education Look Like?

I came across this video on Twitter. It's a terrific video about considerations for 21st century education which seems to be based on on Karl Fisch's, "Did You Know?" video. I'm a fan of all versions of Fisch's video, but what struck me about this was the second half where the district provides real examples of experiences their students will receive.

As I saw it I wondered how principals would respond if a parent showed this video to them and asked what they had to offer...or better yet, asked the principal for a video of what it is their school had to offer their children. If the school couldn’t produce a video message to convey what it is they have to offer for students, what does that say about the school. I think this is a challenge all parents should ask their schools to meet.

It would be great if every school created such a video. In fact I'd love to see videos of this genre created under the leadership of these principals.
