If you could design your senior year, what would you do? These students had the opportunity.
Today I spent quite a bit of time visiting classrooms, talking with students. I saw incredibly high levels of engagement and critical thinking in the psychology and conflict resolution courses. I didn't see core courses in action, and I wonder what the students would design. Would they push their math skills? Some may. I saw them pushing their thinking this morning as they built cardboard boats for the physics course and our annual boat race.
It may be an interesting project to have a group of juniors design an ideal senior year. It's relevant and timely. Rigorous.
Has anyone done this? If so, what has been your result?
