My students are just beginning their school experiences at our brand new charter school in Maryland. These students' families applied to our school and they were lucky enough to be chosen in lottery. Expeditionary Learning taps into our students' curiosities and helps them to develop inquiry skills and a wonder about the world that will propel them through a life filled with learning! Hands-on fieldwork experiences and interactions with technical experts for our students are a budgetary priority in our learning model. Unfortunately with the large amount of overhead costs, we don't yet have access to all the technology and tools we'd love to have to maximize engagement and meaning in daily activities. Generosity from donors who help fun proposals will help my colleagues and I get the tools that will provide students with even more rich learning experiences.
