Our Learning Model

Our model is grounded in the idea that learning happens when you experience something new then reflect on and evaluate the experience. The effective components of the experience can eventually become the basis of a person's "go to" approach for a situation. Everyone does this! It's especially how we as teachers started out to create effective and efficient practices for our classrooms.

Our model encourages teachers to intentionally step outside of their current practice: exploring by making the familiar unfamiliar again, trying to re-engage with the state of learning which comes from new experiences. Maybe there are other highly effective practices to discover! Perhaps you can use the new experiences to refine your current approach and make it even better than before, or maybe you'll discover that your current approach works best for your students! Any of these outcomes would be a positive result of learning.
