Thomas Holmes's Company Details

Consulting, Educational and DJ Digital Music and Video Services Thomas founded Powerful Visions with a unique approach to school transformation, which emphasizes whole school environmental assessment, as the framework to integrate innovation and harness the social and cultural capital often hidden within schools and communities. Powerful Visions believes that parents, communities and schools must take ownership to create a culture of excellence, climate of communication and mutual respect shaped by shared responsibility and sustained by trusting, collaborative, authentic, and respectful relationships. All school improvement strategies must be heavily embedded in comprehensive assessment, current technology integration, evidenced based/best practices for effective curriculum development that is centered in project based learning and 21st century instructional design. A powerful vision of 21st century learners is one that prepares young people for the exponentially changing global world by engaging the local community and the broader society to create and sustain meaningful, relevant learning environments and experiences for all young people, regardless of race, ethnicity, economic status or gender. Powerful Visions utilizes an array of collaborative partners from the private and non-profit sectors and effective models that build bridges between schools, families and communities to provide authentic pathways for healthy development for our emerging adults.
