Collaborative Assessment

Collaboration is all the rage in education teachers work together, students collaborate, and partnerships extend into communities.

Teaching Middle School in an Age of Autodidacts
- Who:
- Andrew Carle
- When:
- Session Six
- Where:
- Room 207
I'm interested in exploring the viability of open-inquiry classrooms, where students pursue skills of their choosing, supported by teachers with unrelated expertise. Where's the "sweet spot" for student inquiry, balanced between the learning habits of obsessive hobbyists, realities of the middle-school classroom, and the absentee approach of Minimally Invasive Education?
