Project X ...

• is a curriculum project involving educators and students across multiple grades in all three divisions of the school
• challenges traditional school structures, such as space, time, student grouping, direction of learning, and assessment of learning
• engages learners (students and educators) in short-term open-ended inquiry projects
• may be viewed as a week-long incubator of innovative teaching and learning

Focus 2019:

• Crafting an inquiry question
• Planning successful research

The purposes of PROJECT X include:

For all learners (students and educators):

• Develop inquiry within our lives
• Promote a sense of community through heterogeneous collaboration by temporarily removing common collaboration boundaries (age, division, department, schedule, rooms, curriculum)

For students:

• Promote critical thinking, self-management, collaboration, leadership

For educators:

• Promote understanding of inquiry by analyzing changing roles of students and educators in the open-inquiry experience.
