<p>In this part, you will encounter diverse ideas on the purpose of high school and consider it yourself. You'll then learn how one school, Washington Leadership Academy (Washington, D.C., USA) is leveraging conversations about desirable characteristics for high school graduates. Shrewsbury Public Schools (Shrewsbury, MA, USA) engaged perspectives across a district in their process of developing a graduate profile. A <span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>graduate profile</strong></span> is a collection of capabilities or qualities that characterize the graduates of a high school. </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>In this part of the course, you'll find: </strong></span></p>

<p>Informed by a background in educational technology and research, Justin explains how four big shifts in the world should influence how educators think about teaching and learning. These four changes are: the growth of networked learning online, how technological advancement affects the world of work, the shift of college instruction toward project-based learning, and progress in the science of learning. </p>
<p>For this video, keep the following question in mind. Feel free to share your answers in your journal.</p>
<ul>
<li>Other than those that Justin reflects on in this video, what major shift(s) in the world do you think should influence rethinking teaching and learning?</li>
</ul>
