XQ+RI: Rhode Island’s XQ Challenge
|
XQ+RI is a first-of-its-kind statewide partnership that will engage communities to create student-centered schools that help prepare all young people for the future.
The XQ+RI challenge will support community teams as they reimagine high school environments so that when students graduate, they are prepared and empowered to be inventors of their own learning paths, careers, and adult lives. In today’s richest learning environments, every individual is invested in unlocking the potential of young people. Learning doesn’t just happen at school, or in traditional learning environments – learning happens everywhere. And everyone needs to be involved.
Taking on this challenge requires the concerted efforts of passionate, talented people. The talent school communities need can be found across their community. This process will begin with a series of XQ+RI Design Days, regional sessions where stakeholders invested in the success of their school communities can learn more about how they can participate in the statewide challenge, as well as begin to create their plans.
