#4 Monarch Visit
Monarch Elementary is the quintessential example of what can be achieved with both full support of the administration and parents. I have never been through a school with more parental involvement. The projects were amazing, the hallways were filled with artwork, and every time you turned a corner, you saw another parent volunteer. The arctic display was most impressive. It had interactive qualities and adorable animals created by kindergarten classes. This school is an excellent example of the PBL curriculum in practice over a long period of time. It showed longevity and the teachers all seemed comfortable with the process. I can see how much work goes in to creating this type of environment, and the students really seem to thrive.

I couldn't agree with you more Kelsey! When teachers, administrators, and parents are all in full support of a project, it will truly be successful! There are many great schools around, but this one is truly exceptional.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelsey,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you enjoyed our class visit to Monarch. Like you, the school was impressive with the consistency of implementation with pbl and with parent involvement.
Sincerely,
