Mark Bistricky has over a decade of experience as an independent school leader committed to exploring innovative new models in education and is the head of Tesseract School in Scottsdale, Arizona. He believes that schools must help students explore real-world issues and solve authentic problems using digital tools. Learning environments that harness students’ passions in solving problems relevant to their lives help students become active participants in their learning. Equipping students to thrive in a world that does not yet exist has been a focus for Mark throughout his career. Students need to develop the ability to think critically, create, collaborate and solve problems. When they engage with subject material more deeply by making connections, grappling with dilemmas, and thinking abstractly, authentic learning takes place.
