@edutopia Jeffco Open: each graduate has a Final Support Meeting. Circled up, students share their stories. Friends, family, faculty, etc. provide feedback; poignant, funny, wise. The Advisor presents the diploma at the end of the event. I’ve never seen anything like it, simply beautiful!
A celebration of “Lifers.” Students who have grown up at the Open School (preK-12) sharing their experiences, challenges and plans for the future. Such an amazing group of people. Thanks for sharing! @DurbinJana @COJasonGlass @JeffcoSchoolsCo@PEBCorg#Jeffcogenerations
Thanks to everyone at @jeffcoopen for a wonderful visit to your school yesterday! You guys are rocking it most severely! Thanks esp to Campbell for this portrait of me, in my signature turquoise pedal pushers. @jim_macur
Fire science, criminal justice, & forensic science students @WarrenTechHS teamed up for their 2nd annual arson investigation to get some real world experience in arson crime scene investigation. These programs collaborated on 1 of the most dynamic learning events of the year.
Education beyond content mastery, by supporting students’ to create meaning for themselves? Collaborative and authentic learning for students and educators is a good start. #jeffcogenerations@DurbinJana@jim_macur@jeffcoopen @CMSBoulder @mcleod@PEBCorg @COJasonGlass

What should our graduates be able to do? They should be able to create self-designed learning experiences! Spending time with our team at the CEI/Assessment for Learning Project. @DurbinJana@edutopia @CMSBoulder @COJasonGlass @jim_macur#jeffcogenerations
