Why Educatio

It is more important than ever that we re-imagine learning environments that provide opportunities for interest-driven exploration, creativity, autonomy, collaboration and a deep trust in possibility so that kids build a 'can-do mindset' and see what they're made of.  People all over the world are articulating that the skills to succeed now include excellent communication, creative capacity and agency.

How Students Learn at Educatio

A project-based, experiential learning approach encourages creativity, collaboration and skill development by exploring ideas and challenges and then finding solutions through research, design, prototyping, reiteration and finally presentation of work. This design thinking process puts into practice the process fundamental to the success of a contributing and fulfilling life - working together to turn ideas into reality.

Exposing kids to novel experiences and materials, visiting new places

and presenting new ideas takes the obligation out of learning. Kids

naturally engage with new mediums, ideas, stories, and activities.

Games, play, challenges, and fun enhance the experience even

more. 


This is the approach of hands-on projects and design challenge

learning. Students build deep learning that is better-retained because

students have ownership over the projects they choose. Confidence

and self-esteem come from practice, skill building, team work, and

creating products and solutions to challenges. Kids see what they're

made of and what they are capable of.


We provide students with real-world challenges that are applicable to

their lives and community. Motivated to contribute and help, students

research, design, and create solutions --- building agency, confidence,

and hope as their ideas come to life. They discover their competency,

capability, and courage for risk-taking.  


Students work on their own, as well as in groups, to complete projects.

The mission-driven, group projects allow students to practice

collaboration, communication, visioning, growth mindset, project

management, and reflection.

Our goal for students is that they love coming to school each day because they feel part of a community, are free to follow their curiosity

through deep exploration and discovery, and develop autonomy and

agency through self-directed, meaningful project work.

Our goal for students is that they love coming to school each day because they feel part of a community, are free to follow their curiosity

through deep exploration and discovery, and develop autonomy and

agency through self-directed, meaningful project work. 


To make this

happen, we create a culture that models and teaches the power of

language--- empathy and listening, the ability to navigate conflict, and

most importantly, skill in articulating and communicating thoughts and

emotions with kindness.  


We model and encourage the following mindsets:


Gratitude over Entitlement

Peace over Winning

Authenticity over IQ

Cooperation over Competition

Inter-dependence and Community over Independence

Trust over Fear

Persistence over Immediate Gratification

Process over Product

Play over Rigid Structure 

Uncertainty over Known Expectations


Student mantras will include: I’ve got this. I can do hard things. There is magic in uncertainty.


If we create a culture of trust and understanding, belief in student

ability, a ‘can-do’ attitude, willingness to do difficult things, and that

magic and excitement lies in uncertainty --- our students will feel safe to try new things, be themselves, and reach for their fullest potential.

Kids are capable of great things and nuanced understanding. Our

students will learn through a direct-instruction curriculum and apply

those concepts and understanding in launching their own ideas and vision into reality. For deep learning and better retention, it is important that reading/language and math be authentically framed in real-world engagement. 


We use the Experiential Learning Education curriculum (EL

Education) and Engage NY math curriculum.  Based on college and

career readiness standards, EL Education Language Arts curriculum

is a comprehensive, research-informed, core language arts program

that engages teachers and students through compelling, real-world

content. As students move from learning-to-read to reading-to-learn,

reading and writing become critical tools for the student to complete

the research, design, and reflection for each project.


While math and literacy are required for both direct instruction of

curriculum and incorporation into projects, science and history will

often be the project topic or focus. All state curriculum standards for

science and history will be met, approached in a way that students

feel and see the concepts -- the most effective and engaging way to

learn. Imagine learning about Native American culture by building a

life-size village with games, food processing, arts, and culture! And

then after experiencing that culture, students learn to become a

colonist --- ambitious, land hungry, and eager to replace the existing

culture without assimilation or respect for the people who built it.

Imagine the conversations and dialogue that this powerful learning

would create!
