What do you believe about learning?
BELIEFS
What we know and believe about learning is the starting point for all of our work with kids in schools. Without a coherent set of principles or beliefs about learning that is communicated clearly to the school community, reimagining your work in schools is difficult if not impossible.
The world is changing... dramatically.
CONTEXTS
WIthout a deep understanding of how the world is changing and the affordances that new technologies bring to learning, we risk irrelevance in our schools and classrooms. We're constantly staying abreast of the larger global shifts that impact our work with students.
Embracing modern approaches in classrooms.
PRACTICES
Our practices in the classroom must be driven by our beliefs about learning and our understanding of the world today. Our practice informs those two other lenses as we try new approaches, take on new roles, and create environments for modern learning to flourish.
