Facilitating educational networks
Via Terra is a collection of veteran educators working to bring open-ended inquiry and exploration back into the classroom. The educational coaches serve as mentors and facilitators to help educational programs embrace the inner scientists, artists, and designers in their classrooms.
Working with teacher teams, the coaches work to provide concrete structures for placing student inquiry at the center of the educational experience and inspire teachers to extend this model to all aspects of their classrooms. |
