Change The Odds Remix Archives
Changing the Odds Remix elevates new ways of thinking, seeing, and acting on truths parents know and research confirms:
Learning happens everywhere. • Relationships and experiences drive development. • All young people have potential . • Opportunities are inequitable. • Schools cannot do this alone.
Commissioned Papers
The Knowledge to Power Catalysts team is sometimes commissioned to write papers that share and uplift many of the ideas we talk and write about here on Changing the Odds Remix. We are pleased to share these papers with you here.
The XQ Competencies provide a logical, coherent, and actionable framework for student learning that has the potential to transform the way we design learning experiences, assess student progress, and certify students’ successful acquisition of essential skills and knowledge.
“Equity-Centered Thriving” opens a door to new thinking, research, and practices that will challenge how thriving and equity can be expanded by goals and standards that are interdependent, cumulative, and culturally influenced.
“Too Essential to Fail” brings together a preponderance of evidence from disparate sources that combined gives us the confidence we need to create “a new education architecture” that leverages the full complement of community resources needed to empower and support learners for life, work, and civic engagement.”
