Chapter Summaries00:01:02 - Introducing EJ Carrion00:04:09 - Student Success Agency 00:08:06 - Modernizing High School00:11:40 - Challenge the Status Quo00:15:14 - Reinventing the System00:20:27 - Purposeful VS Systematic00:26:53 - Build a Legacy DesignKey TakeawaysI created student success agency with the idea that we should support students anywhere. Districts spend millions of dollars to support kids during the day when they're in class. That would be like the store only open when you and I are at work. Students need these services, but they're only available when they're actually in their busiest time. And so we create an equitable approach where kids can receive that anywhere, anytime from their phones. To get out of your comfort zone, it comes to identifying what is something that you have a hunch on that you're authentic on - and believe in that gut, because your story and your experience, especially when your experience is so different, allows you to play the game.The internet is only 30 years old. I think we're just living at a time where we need to realize like a lot of things that were normal were questioned just a hundred years ago. We're talking 1918, we just finished world war one, to go back a hundred years ago to world war one and explain what Tik Tok is…and we're talking just a hundred years.So people won't remember our legacy, but they will live in the systems that we have built. No one knows who invented the stoplight. No one knows who invented the toilet, but every single day, me and you use their legacy design, we live within their legacy. And so when we're able to think in decades, we then realize we're legacy designers and then your work is very important.
