Golden Circle

People connect with the why, not the what.

Why
To create citizens who are caring, competent critical thinkers. Schools should help people learn for life, not just the classroom. Learning needs to be applicable and relevant.

How
Teachers guide students with real-world applications, inquiry-based learning, and assessments asking them to apply their knowledge in a meaningful way.

What
Students should learn about civic engagement, globalization, historical-inquiry through their social studies classes, all of which can be relevant and connected to student lives.
