Students at my school are bright and self driven. They bring so much love and energy into their work. In art, all of these skills shine through with well thought out, conceptual, and creative artwork. They are always asking to push past any boundaries I may have created in an assignment.
They are open to criticism and critical reflection.
Students are often asked to look back and review what they have done. They look at craftsmanship and composition. They rework their projects with feedback and constructive criticism from peers.
EBIA teachers use Project Based Learning and Blended Learning. Students have skills for group work that most adults are still learning. They are often advocates for their personal beliefs and the rights of others. Equity is so important.
My Project
Students are always making and building in the maker workshop. Recently, the jigsaw that had been donated to the room broke down. This saw was often used by the teacher to help students in cutting wood for their varied projects. The school is a project based learning school. Many of the projects that students are making across their classes include building materials. Students will also use the screw drivers across grade levels. Students come to the maker workshop with a variety of projects. These have included building bird houses, building aqueducts and creating sculptures. In the past these materials will help the students make their projects even better!
