School Re-design

Waiting for Superman debrief.

Goals of this course (brainstorm, work with rubrics).

The Super School Project


Here are some points of inspiration to consider. Feel free to add your own in the comments.

So, I kind of have a thing against complaining. But, I think if we take out the negative spins, this guy has some awesome suggestions on content we might consider for our changes, additions, super course, etc. He also brings up some good questions about the purpose of education--worth discussing further. Thanks to sophomore, Chris Espino, for sharing!




Flexible learning requires flexible learning environments!
One idea I had was to knock down the wall between our room and Mr. Ward's room--what if it was one big learning space. We would have to schedule our classes at different times, but it would mean we could have more room to "workshop" ideas.
