Driving Question
How can we design the school experience that would be best for learning from a psychological perspective?
Project Description
The school experience varies from student to student, teacher to teacher, parent to parent. Is the school experience designed to be best for learning?
For this project, students will be evaluating their experiences and brainstorm how they would want to change school. They will be evaluating their ideas with the psychological perspective on what would be best for learning according to science.
The students will be working in groups to combine their experiences and their ideas of how school should be designed based on their research and understanding of what environments and processes would be best for learning.
