This session is a story of emergent coherence against a complex backdrop. We'll share our framework, our navigational strategies, and tangible examples of how a focused, human-centric vision can, over time, cultivate a resilient and purposeful school community.

The presentation will seek to understand why current schooling is fundamentally flawed and what schools can be doing instead to prepare students for the 21st Century.

This session will focus on the principals of Tidy Data which are quickly becoming the industry standard for science and industry.

The Open School is the only self-directed democratic K-12 school in Southern California. Modeled closely after Sudbury Valley School, The Open School began operating in 2015 with just a handful of students. The school is committed to supporting the human rights of children, centering on the right to autonomy. Children at the school decide how to spend their time, as long as they are not infringing on the rights of others.
