Local Learning is a project-based learning program that involves local resources, community experts, with authentic student experiences.
Project Creation
happens when the topic of focus has uncovered new knowledge for our students. The creation of a tangible project allows for authenticity to transpire in a student's learning experience.
Measurement of Growth
allows for students to find success from where they are. Crafting student driven assessments can create ownership in their success and bring self awareness of strengths and goals.
Celebrating the Learning
is at the heart of what we do. When learning is recognized and acknowledged by others the authenticity of the work has meaning. Validation of student accomplishments throughout their school and community can create ownership and connections to institutions.
Follow-Up
with the students. Check in on throughout the upcoming school year. Make sure they know you are still invested in their learning, goals, and accomplishments.
