The simplest understanding of this approach is… teach students how to think/observe/participate like a media critic / artist / scientist / anthropologist / engineer / author / sociologist / etc

 

A major pedagogical shift with Evolutions is what defines “the curriculum” - in the traditional model a large focus is placed on specific content knowledge. For us, we move the focus to more competency/skills based. Can students effectively go through the learning process and show what they can do with the knowledge that they’ve obtained.

​

We utilize the design process, field work, intentional collaboration, authentic projects, and reflection
