"I've never been able to ignite passion like that in my students before . I would see it in class in little snippets, depending on the topic... but I've never been able to reach an entire class at once like I can when you give them choice like this."

-Alicia Pepe, teacher

Everyone has interests and passions, including students. When we give them the opportunity to own their learning it is incredibly empowering.  In the Douglas County School District more and more students are being given the opportunity to design their classrooms, choose what they want to study and how they want to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they've gained. The result is an  amazing excitement and engagement amongst the students.
