We have a mixed age, project based school and we realized that we were always trying to make other things work but that nothing was really designed for the type of education we were creating.
Small groups, engaged students, teachers with agency, an active classroom, creativity, encouragement, self-reflection, personal growth. Some students will be working in small groups on focused work to support their core learning through engaging material that is being covered in their project unit. Some students will be working directly with the teacher on gaining important skills and some students will be working on ttheir "may dos" having already finished the core work for the day.
This is a new innovation, just getting started, but initial conversations are encouraging.
