PROBLEM

There is a drop in joy due to pressures of test scores and standards.  Our students have limited class choice options and there is fragmentation because of a departmental schedule.

HOW MIGHT WE…

Increase teacher and student joy and engagement through inquiry based learning, flexible block-scheduling and choice.

SOLUTION

Teachers will implement an inquiry-based unit, using a rubric and unit plan that can be adapted for particular subjects.
