Feels...
• Innovative • Creative • Collaborative

Sounds like… • Classroom environment ~ lots of
student voices, student collaboration, students active in their learning
• Role of the teacher ~ planning with colleagues ~ planning for student inquiry, working side-by-side with students
• Assessments ~ assessment focused on the process and the product
