What is The Changemaker Academy?
CMA is an opportunity to learn in a different environment. The teachers create units and lessons that combine the required classes-- math, English, physics, and history-- and provide space and support so that students can apply their knowledge and skills in a real world environment. Mostly, we aim to put students in the driver's seat of their own learning, so that all kids see themselves as intellectuals, problem-solvers, and social innovators.
Why Changemaker?
|
The aim of CMA is to "do school" differently, and more specifically, in a way that matches our current society. We prioritize content skills and 21st century skills, such as creative thinking, collaboration, and problem solving, as equally important. Therefore, we provide many opportunities for students to work together, to IMPROVE on working together, to create in a variety of formats, and to connect with the greater community.
We want to invite the whole student into the classroom, making space for whom they are now and whom they want to be in the future. |
