What's your problem?

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

... this is nothing new...

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

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

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

+ info

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.

Did you guess the INTERPRETIVE CURRICULUM PARADIGM?

Summative Assessments

+ info

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

So who creates these dynamic projects?

Essential 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.

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

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

EXACTLY

THANKYou!
