Framing Question
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.
