What is Back to School of the Future?
In Douglas County, it is possible to get a peek into the future of education by looking into some of our classrooms. Our teacher leaders are working to transform education in the following ways:
- Encouraging our students to connect with their passions by giving them voice and choice in the classroom.
- Challenging our students to push their thinking to the highest levels, while using data to drive instruction.
- Making learning opportunities fun, authentic and relevant.
- Incorporating restorative practices so that our students have a safe learning environment where they can "fail forward."
- Using world class tools like technology, robotics, gaming and more to expand learning experiences.
