What's your problem?

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."- BF

But this generation is more "WOKE" than ever before!

But our educational system was not built to support independent thinkers!

... this is nothing new...

Not quite. LEt's not tear it down but unpack it together.

Are you saying we should BURN the whole system down to the ground and restart?

Did you guess the INTERPRETIVE CURRICULUM PARADIGM?

Our system is flawed. It was built completely to the top without the participants who will use it! We don't know what they don't know.

Essential questions

So who creates these dynamic projects?

The curriculum includes four choices, but it is ESSENTIAL that the teacher know their students and create assessments based on their interests!

So the more we know about our students the more we can grow together?

EXACTLY

But what if we don't have all the answers to their questions?

Actually... We never did! we only had the answers to the questions we gave them! Now we are giving them the tools of discovery that they can use even outside of our classrooms.

THANKYou!
