Push my thinking
My vision is to build a six-year vertical curriculum and set expectations for students upon entering and leaving my school. This would include the ability to plan, program, and design web applications that solve a particular purpose or create social good.

Creative Challenges through Programming and Design
Problem of practice
Students are expected to do a lot of route memorization in preparation for high-stakes examinations. As a result, they often struggle when a task requires significant planning, critical thinking, and a pragmatic approach. This is a problem in light of the fact that most modern careers and even more careers in the future rely on this type of thinking.
Solution
My solution is to build a framework of relevant, content-based challenges that rely heavily on technical skills analogous to those used by professionals and touching on the fields of graphic design, programming, and engineering.
