Management in the Active Classroom
The theme for this year's Professional Learning blog, "I'd Like to Speak to the Manager", draws from EL Education's Management in the Active Classroom, and will provide guidance to help teachers learn, practice, and master techniques and protocols that build self-discipline, responsibility, engagement, and leadership skills in their students.
More about EL Education:
EL Education (formerly known as Expeditionary Learning) was born out of a collaboration between The Harvard Graduate School of Education and Outward Bound USA. What started as a concept has grown into a movement. Our mission, now as then, is to create classrooms where teachers can fulfill their highest aspirations and students achieve more than they think possible, becoming active contributors to building a better world.
When students enter adult life, they will be celebrated not for their performance on basic skills tests, but rather for the quality of their work and their character. That’s why EL Education builds students’ capacity for three dimensions of high achievement: Mastery of Knowledge and Skills, Character, High-Quality Student Work.
