●

Teachers​ ​will​ ​facilitate​ ​research/inquiry​ ​projects​ ​into​ ​their​ ​year​ ​and​ ​unit​ ​plans​ ​that​ ​allow students​ ​to​ ​co-create​ ​knowledge​ ​together.​ ​It​ ​will​ ​be​ ​interdisciplinary,​ ​relevant​ ​and connected​ ​to​ ​the​ ​community​ ​and​ ​world​ ​outside​ ​of​ ​school.

●

Activities​ ​will​ ​reflect​ ​higher​ ​order​ ​thinking,​ ​participatory​ ​learning,​ ​collaboration​ ​and engagement.​ ​They​ ​will​ ​be​ ​student​ ​centered,​ ​and​ ​students​ ​are​ ​encouraged​ ​to​ ​showcase learning​ ​with​ ​physical​ ​and​ ​virtual​ ​displays​ ​of​ ​learning.
