Guiding Principles

Asset-Based

Every learner brings something to share, be it experience, knowledge, observations, a fresh perspective, or an unexpected question. 

Relevance

Social, cultural, physical, and personal factors influence how we connect new information with what we know. 

Storytelling

Stories capture our attention. They help us make sense of the world and ourselves.

Foxy Thinking

Untangling big problems takes big-picture thinking and a broad knowledge base.

Learning Out Loud

Creating leads to learning; both the product and process have value.

Multiple Ways of Knowing

There is more than one way to understand something.

Aesthetics

Aesthetic experiences offer opportunities for emotional engagement and expression.
