Jeff is the founder of the school Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry (PSII). His school is an inquiry-based school based in the heart of Victoria.
I found their core values very interesting with how progressive, and different they are from the public school system.
Core Values:
–Open inquiry (students choose what to explore)
–Emergent Curriculum (allow the curriculum to emerge where the student is at, not grade based)
–Consilience (transdisciplinary)
–Co-construction (teachers are a part of the learning, they scaffold)
–Learning Happens Everywhere (can also happen in the community, outside of school hours)
–Learning vs Learning about (not just learn about things but do things)
–Competency Based- Assessment (People acquiring different competencies along the way)
