This is one of the best creative Holiday projects that was done in Alaska. Done like you’ve never seen before. This video from the small Yupiq Eskimo Village of Quinhagak, Alaska , was a school computer project intended for the other Yupiq villages in the area. Much to the villagers’ shock, over a half million people have viewed it. For your turn to view, Click: Http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=LyviyF-N23A
Big Picture Charter School
November 6, 2011
Big Picture Learning is an established charter high school organization that will be submitting a charter in just a couple of months to the Sequoia Union High School District. This high school option will soon be available to the families of San Carlos. It is a charter high school that has a mission similar to San Carlos Charter Learning Center. Their approach to learning is offering a project-based learning environment with opportunities for real world learning experiences that CLC also offers its learners.
Big Picture Learning is an organization that was founded in 1995 with the establishment of the first MET High School in Providence, Rhode Island. Big Picture School has 67 schools nationwide and has been growing ever since.
Big Picture Learning believes that high school graduates must know how to reason, problem-solve, and be active members of the community. At Big Picture Learning schools, there is no canon of information that all students must know. In a world where available information is growing exponentially, we believe that the most important thing a student needs to know is how to learn. Integral to the Big Picture Learning design are the five Learning Goals, a framework for looking at concepts, skills, and abilities and help guide the creation of personalized student curriculum.
There is an informational meeting taking place on Thursday, November 10, 2011 from 5:30-7:30 PM, at the following address:
Holbrook-Palmer Park Pavilion
150 Watkins Ave.
Atherton, CA 94027
I hope that you will be able to join me at this exciting event and to learn more about a great new high school opportunity coming to the Sequoia District.
