School Story in Action 2023-2024

June 7, 2024

We would like to focus on Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL designs learning opportunities that are accessible for all students. A metaphor to explain would be the following: we design a staircase for everyone to go up not just those who can walk.

The lessons are not based on grades but the needs of students. Lessons are provided in small groups. Based on interest, students choose purposeful work and there are different things going on in the c lass with a working hum. Students experience independence through purposeful choice making which teaches them freedom with responsibility.

This links to our School Story focus in the following way:

Learning requires exploration of one’s identity.
