Demands on students to learn complex, higher order skills have raised questions about the schooling environment in which they would most likely learn them. Answers to such questions have come from many fields, and have suggested practical solutions to many problems we are experiencing in transforming the Falmouth schools. Social learning theory (Albert Bandura) suggests that copying can lead to significant learning. We describe a set of activities and facilities that stimulate all schooling stakeholders (teaching, students, parents, administrators, future employers, etc.) to engage in and can be seen performing the higher-order behaviors we want students to learn. Operational research (Stafford Beer) suggest that organized information on its inputs, operations and outcomes. We describe a process for engaging each school subsystem in modeling its operations and contributions to the school's goals, and a facility for displaying organized information and operational models in a Performance Information Center (the PIC) for the decision-makers in each schooling sub-system.
