PROJECTS



Let's be clear.

The FOCUS ON PROJECTS

the AFTER-SCHOOL and WEEKEND meetings between teachers and students

the focus on WHAT IS YOUR PASSION? and "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN TODAY?" are tat the school in West Hollywood because Steve heard the NPR radio interview with Dr. Littky in April 2005

bought the book and read it in July 2005

visited the school in Providence in Nov. 2005

Made a documentary about that visit (with the famous SHOE lesson witgh the Bertholdt Brecht poem about Labor and the Workers December 2005

visited Frida Kahlo High School and met Enrique Gonzalez in October 2009

visited Met Center again in 2011 to learn about the Entrepreneurship center

visited Met Center again in December 2013 to learn about snow at the Met and to get a cool poster from the PR department.

Obtained the right to translate the book into Spanish (with the help of Mario LLorente) in 2013

visited with Entrique Gonzalez in 2013, Feb., in Highland Park High School

unveiled the Spanish language Facebook page about the Spnaish edition of the book in September 2014

and created a series of projects with students at West Hollywood Private School in Hollywood, FL in August 2015.


All of these steps led to the creation of the blog about projects at WHPS

See the "Woman on the Moon" project (one of our students might want to visit the moon... and live and work on the moon!  Wow

She will study math, science, history and language arts (and another language) using the moon and her goal as the focus... 

GO DEEP

What does GOING DEEP mean?

That's another theme that runs in these photos.

See what you can grab by sanning these photos.   Then text to Steve the main points that you received .. what did you pick up?


When you talk to your advisor by his first name, you are less formal.  

You are more in charge of your learning when you have a colleague, someone who is a mentor and a guide on the side.
