we value questions over answers. Questions allow for meaningful interaction with texts and questions encourage curiosity. What better way to learn!
We don't give up. We change methodology (Inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, direct instruction, peer-to-peer learning, e-learning etc) when required to maximize the opportunity for a student to learn
We ensure learning is fun. We create engagement, revisit old ideas and include past learning. Students retain information better because the process is enjoyable and memorable.
We plan and create opportunities for all students to to connect with us, the course material, and each other keeping in mind interest, and readiness-for-content among other criteria
Kids leave the classroom and if their experiences don't impact their lives, it seems fairly pointless. We help them make the connect.
