Who are we?
Where do we need
to take it?
CommunicationDo our projects teach students to:
-Articulate their learning through multiple intelligences?
-Be responsible in communicating with teacher for
turning work in, editing work, and understanding what is
asked them?
-Publish their work and develop a portfolio that will
demonstrate their work and progress on a large scale?
CollaborationDo our projects teach students to:
-Learn how to lead and follow on a project
with multiple tasks?
-Be responsible for their role in a group
of their peers?
-Brainstorm, edit, and offer their talents
in the design phase?
CreativityDo our projects teach students to:
Utilize their talents and interests to
show mastery of content?
Complete projects at their highest
level rather than for a grade?
Truly learn by having fun but working hard?
Critical ThinkingDo our projects teach students to:
Ask questions that matter?
Struggle through challenges and relish in the rewards
of problem solving?
Solve real world problems that impact
them or people they know?
Community
Are our students
part of a community? Do
they want to be here? Is
it safe to be yourself?
