Classroom Instruction

The IB classes offered at Klein Oak are unique in that:

· learning is cross-curricular.

· student choice is valued; we know that students that have a hand in choosing topics of interest are more likely to remain invested in each educational opportunity.

· students collaborate in the learning process through in-depth discussion and project-based learning.

· we emphasize the our "why"! Why are we learning this material? If that is the answer, why do you think so?
