An AASA Learning 2025 Lighthouse Demonstration System Vignette

In the fall of 2024, Burrell School District was named an AASA Learning 2025 Lighthouse Demonstration System for its work in the area of future-ready learners.

The mission, goal, and hope articulated by the Burrell School District reinforce its commitment to preparing future-ready learners.

Its mission, for example, focuses on defining readiness for college, career, and life-long learners, creating active engagement in experiences that stretch students toward their futures. Its long-range goal is to connect students with real-world career experiences through community involvement and awareness.

Its hope is that learners will thrive both inside and outside of school through engagement in meaningful and relevant learning experiences, improved relationships, and an enhanced sense of self-awareness, efficacy, and agency in their learning.
