[0:03] In Eden [music] Prairie Schools, [0:05] students discover their interests, [0:07] explore their opportunities, and pursue [0:09] their passions. That starts right away [0:11] in our early childhood programming and [0:14] continues all the way through graduation [0:16] and [music] beyond. We're preparing [0:18] students for jobs that might not even [0:20] exist yet, which means reimagining [0:22] education and innovating to give our [0:24] [music] students every opportunity they [0:26] need to succeed. Building on the [0:29] celebration of our district's 100th [0:31] anniversary, we spent the 2024 to 2025 [0:35] school year gathering ideas and feedback [0:37] from more than 2,500 members of our [0:40] community, including students, staff, [0:42] and families. They told us about the [0:45] experiences they want students to have [0:47] in the year 2035. After analyzing this [0:50] data, a design team of teachers, school [0:53] leaders, students, staff, and parents [0:55] identified a student centered [0:57] communitydriven vision, flight plan [0:59] 2035. [1:01] That vision prioritizes four focus [1:04] areas. Student well-being, inspired [1:07] learning, transferable future ready [1:09] skills, and real world application. [1:12] These four focus areas [music] will be [1:13] present in each of the programs and [1:15] experiences created as part of flight [1:18] plan 2035, leading to students who are [1:20] adaptable, resilient, and engaged, who [1:23] enjoy a lifelong love of learning [1:25] through discovery, exploration, and [1:27] pursuit, who develop broad skills to [1:30] thrive in their careers and life, and [1:32] who apply those skills in the real [1:34] world. With this vision in mind as the [1:36] final destination, the design team [1:38] developed a representative future [1:40] focused blueprint for how to create [1:42] programs and experiences for students. [1:44] These blueprint designs lay out the [1:46] multiple [music] paths we should take on [1:48] our journey to 2035. [1:51] Whole person development centers [1:52] students well-being, character, and [1:55] confidence. Schools in partnership with [1:57] families become places where [1:59] self-awareness, resilience, and purpose [2:02] grow alongside academics. [2:04] Adaptive and individualized learning [2:06] means shifting from a one-sizefits-all [2:09] model to a responsive ecosystem where [2:11] students co-design their inspired [2:13] journey. They progress at their own pace [2:16] and engage in meaningful personalized [2:18] experiences that reflect their [2:20] interests, strengths, and aspirations. [2:23] Seamless life and learning connections [2:24] [music] [2:25] intentionally link education to students [2:27] lives, communities, and futures through [2:29] real world experiences like career and [2:31] technical education, industry aligned [2:34] pathways, and workforce partnerships [2:35] [music] that make learning relevant and [2:37] impactful. [2:39] Purposeful and mindful technology use [2:41] programs that integrate technology with [2:43] intention, enhancing learning, [2:45] personalization, and innovation while [2:48] promoting balance, responsibility, and [2:50] digital well-being. [2:52] Integrated outside time [music] programs [2:54] that incorporate outdoor time into [2:56] learning, wellness, and community [2:58] building, making outdoor time a key part [3:01] [music] of each student's inspired [3:03] journey. And finally, innovative indoor [3:06] and outdoor [music] facilities [3:08] environments that adapt to the needs of [3:10] students, supporting flexible, [3:11] personalized, and future ready learning. [3:14] The district will design spaces that [3:15] blur the lines between classroom and [3:17] real world, [music] between schools and [3:20] communities, and between indoors and [3:22] out. To make all of this a reality, [3:25] between 2025 and 2035, Eden Prairie [3:28] Schools will identify the specific [3:30] programs to develop, implement those [3:32] programs with clear action steps and [3:34] timelines, and innovate to increase [3:36] efficiency and impact. Ultimately, this [3:40] community-designed vision will help our [3:42] Eagles fly higher and further [music] [3:44] into their futures, no matter where [3:46] their paths might take them. Like any [3:48] great [music] flight, the strength of [3:49] the journey depends on teamwork. We all [3:52] have a role to play.
