<p>We’ve paired Units 3a: Refining a Vision and 3b: Getting to Work because as valuable as vision development is, we want your team to get involved in making change as soon as possible. What drives people to take action? In this video, Peter defines creative tension as the gap between vision and current reality. This tension between an understanding of what is and what could be motivates teams to keep moving forward.</p>

<p>You've looked at two examples of school systems developing a cohesive vision, Mashpee Public Schools and the Benjamin Banneker Charter Public School. Did you see something in these visions that you liked? Explore that further! </p>
<p>For this activity, <strong>research examples of schools with visions, and also initiatives, that you find to be especially appealing and/or are particularly relevant to your problem of practice. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Start by taking just 10 minutes</strong> and do more if it seems helpful. Consider examples in the course and elsewhere. Take a look at the <a href="/courses/course-v1:MITx+11.154x+3T2018/jump_to_id/6a5addc086a0482ab8c015b0c8f85403" target="_blank">Model Menu </a><strong>on the next page</strong>. You might go to websites like <em>Edutopia</em> or <em>KQED MindShift.</em> Maybe you'll find reports from schools that are working towards something that is both relevant and valuable for you.</p>
<p>There are many educational models, tools, and innovations to consider. When you're looking at a certain model or tool, etc., think about how, and if, it fits with your school. </p>
<p><strong>Please share a promising model, tool, or innovation with your colleagues. Provide a brief summary and explain why you think it's especially appealing or particularly relevant.</strong></p>

<p>Throughout this course, you’ve met educators from a number of schools who are organizing innovation around shared vision and shared instructional language. <strong>Here we've put together a list of ideas, pedagogy, approaches, models, etc. that may be useful as you're considering "what awesome looks like" in terms of your problem of practice. This list is only a sample; it is not meant to be comprehensive or exhaustive. </strong></p>
