Choice -> Ownership -> Empowerment -> Deeper Learning<\/strong><\/a> — from AJ Juliani<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Students continue to fall into the same trap year after year with traditional schooling. They rarely have a chance to choose their learning path in school, and routinely treat school like a \u201cjob\u201d instead of the most valuable learning experience they will ever have\u2026<\/p>\n

By the time students get to high school, over\u00a083% are stressed out<\/a>, [and] 67% say they are bored half the time<\/a>, and many learn to \u201cplay the game of school\u201d<\/strong> <\/span>worrying about what will happen to them if they do not get a particular grade and get into a specific college.<\/p>\n

What we end up with are students who are never given a chance to explore their own interests in school, who end up confused about what they want to do with their future because they continue to march down a path that has been chosen for them for 12 years.<\/strong> <\/span>Many of these students end up getting jobs in fields they think are \u201csafe\u201d or \u201cpractical\u201d but don\u2019t have a personal connection or interest to the work they are doing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choice in what content our students consume, what activities they take on in and out of school, what assessments they take, and choice in their purpose for learning.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Choice drives student ownership of their learning, which kicks engagement into high-gear, and ultimately leads to learning that is intrinsic and powerful and deep.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nOur son has become a game-player. He knows just what he needs to get that A. No more, nor less. He doesn’t care about learning. <\/span>And he is tired of getting information crammed down his throat. Information he doesn’t care about…at all. Since 10th grade, he has become disengaged. <\/span><\/p>\n

Next year (for his senior year of H.S.), he is heading to studying what he wants to study<\/em> — acting. Although it will be very difficult, I think he will blossom. He will become fully engaged…because he’s doing what he chooses to do.<\/span><\/p>\n
