Expeditionary Learning schools.

I really liked this quote from the Kurt Hahn School website, "the courses at our school are designed as real-world “learning expeditions” that give students opportunities to explore a single topic or issue in depth."

I thinks it can be very effective to learn one subject at a time instead of spreading yourself thin and struggling to learn 5-7 subjects at a time like how traditional high schools do. I's super exhausting.

I Also liked that they break into small groups, because as I learned while doing my own presentation, It's super effective for facilitating learning and building human connections.

I had trouble logging in to read the other article about expeditionary learning, but I'm very excited for this presentation.
