CES Fall Forum: Day One
Today I worked in an all-day session on creating student-led classrooms at the CES Fall Forum in Providence, Rhode Island. The presenters asked us to think about traditional models of schooling and scrutinize their rationales. As you would expect, they went on to argue that learning should be in service of exploring student wonderings and in places students learn best.
While I felt the session was mostly just a rehashing of CES principles in the classroom with a few examples of how that looks in an Honors (odd, I thought, given that CES ideals don't really lend themselves to tracking students) English classroom, it was energizing to be around so many people who understand education like I do.
Putting yourself in a place where you can imagine applying the CES principles with any population of students
