Student-centered direct instruction with critical and layered higher-order questioning, while modeling passion and scholarship and creating opportunities for meaningful performance-based assessment. The larger purpose behind learning comes first, as concepts for life and the larger world that can relate to anyone are at the heart of meaningful lessons.
