Design the Ideal Class or School

Dear students,

This is not a reading post but rather a post about ideal learning experiences. As you get to know me, you will find that one of my passions is training teachers and thinking about 21st century learning. I always find it interesting that while our world has changed drastically in terms of technology and jobs, schools have not changed very much. I strongly believe we need to think about how we incorporate collaboration, creativity, problem-solving and innovation in the classroom and sometimes that means a school or class may look a little different.

I love for my students to THINK, CREATE, and DESIGN their learning experiences. I am curious as to what you think the ideal class or school would be like. Feel free to think outside the box and be as creative as you want. There are no right or wrong answers, but I strongly suggest you really think about your ideal school experience and brainstorm some ideas before writing your post.

When answering this question, explain what your summer reading program would be and why. Be sure to proofread your writing before you post it.
