The+Right+to+Innovative+Education

INNOVATIVE EDUCATION IS...


 * The teacher's duty and commitment to provide each student with a learning experience that offer new, insightful, or abstract methods of absorbing and understanding material
 * Any number of projects, class assignments, homework assignments, or structures that advance a style of learning that is responsive, dynamic, and motivating
 * These projects can be tied to the idea of Essential Questions to teach a broad idea or theme with specific learning objectives throughout the year, semester, or project length
 * Essential questions are broad questions, usually with ambiguous answers that stimulate and motivate participation, learning and understanding of a particular idea. For example: "What are values?" "How does technology reflect society?" (Hinchman 2008)
