In our model, we want to personalize the educational experience by providing students choice within courses through inquiry, project-based learning, and by giving them opportunities to capitalize on their strengths and interests.
Personalization within coursework
Personalization in our model is giving students agency so that they are more invested and engaged with what they are learning and how they are learning. Project-based learning will provide opportunities for students to go in different directions, but still having connections to our community. At the core of project-based learning is inquiry, which is very personalized since students will ask questions based on their current level of understanding and curiosity. Effective inquiry will result in students asking their own questions, instead of just answering the questions from the teacher.
The Design & Development course is focused on teaching students design thinking and providing them with skills to solve real-world problems. This class will allow for students to have a personalized learning experience as they get to pick the problems they are passionate about and want to solve.
Personalization of the high school experience
This Jasper Learning Initiative is a broader way to personalize the learning for many of our students. In addition to choosing between different classes in our Program of Studies, this program would allow students to choose they way in which they learn through project-based learning.
