SOC


Teamwork was an important part of the presentation. I am seeing teamwork as a large part of education today. Collaboration with students, families and communities is a difficult task which this school seems to have mastered. The part that I liked the most was the fact that the curriculum is always changing but still able to meet the standards. The students play a large role in deciding what types of things they want to learn. This makes the lessons more interesting to them as well as giving them more ownership and responsibility in their education.

The aspect of bringing in the community to be part of the curriculum and having the students go out into the community to do projects is great. This lets the whole community know what is going on in the school.
