Possible Framing Questions

What learning skills do we need and how do we develop the character to improve them?

Learning Goal
If students and teachers have the opportunity to intentionally develop the learning skills and character traits needed to develop a learning community, then they will understand how to apply them here at Forest Valley, back at school and in the rest of their lives.

Possible Sequence of the Day

The framing question focuses the learning of the day. The day starts with an engagement activity to assess understanding, engage the students, and introduce the framing question. The morning is spent doing investigations, exploring and conducting hands-on inquiry in regards to collaborative activities. Some time is spent at the end of the program and throughout to debrief the student learning, in particular with regards to the chosen learning skills.
