Purpose: Explored blended learning (books, online classes, conference) as a method of learning when designing a new Gr. 10 course. This evolved into looking at blended learning at RNS for the future.
Findings: Implementation is key. If the technology and online components are carefully integrated into the curriculum, then students see value in the task and outcomes are often met.

Purpose: Examine the experiential learning opportunities provided to students in Grade 10 at SMUS

Findings: Feedback from students, parents and faculty was very positive. The benefits of shifting our grade 10 program to include experiential learning opportunities for all students far outweighed any reason not to move in this direction.

Purpose: To understand how the relationship between the teacher and student change when they are collaborating on student-centered assessment practices.

Findings: The single most important factor is for educators to approach their work from a mindset or stance that begins with trusting students as capable and contributing members to the learning process.
