This hangout organised by Amanda and Roland while some of us were at GAFE Brisbane last week, talks about how to run a hangout - tips, tricks and curriculum objectives.
"Big Picture Learning believes that high school graduates must know how to reason, problem-solve, and be active members of the community. At Big Picture Learning schools, there is no canon of information that all students must know. In a world where available information is growing exponentially, we believe that the most important thing a student needs to know is how to learn. Integral to the Big Picture Learning design are our five Learning Goals, a framework for looking at concepts, skills, and abilities and help guide the creation of personalized student curriculum."
David Truss is a colleague and innovative leader now based in Vancouver and Principal of the Inquiry Hub. . I love hearing about how he is implementing inquiry learning across the curriculum! Would love to visit this school one day!
