Traditional Teaching Style

To start off Week 2 we had a traditional teaching style (TTS) block. The teachers wanted to make a point that we could "manage our own learning". It worked as the TTS was super boring, unfair, and a form of educational slavery.



After this block we completed a PMI chart and a chalk talk. We then established our class tree-tee.



Our main goal for this year is to 'manage our own learning'.
