Description of Schank Academy:
From day one, our students are fully immersed in real-world career roles, performing authentic tasks in pursuit of meaningful goals and producing the same work that professionals produce. Supported by an experienced mentor, they receive coaching and feedback, helping students to revise their work and improve their mastery of the underlying knowledge and skills. Along the way, we provide advice, resources, and stories from industry insiders who have actually been there. SOURCE
IN THE AGE OF INSTANT INFORMATION, WHY DO WE STILL ACCEPT THE ANCIENT ROMAN MODEL OF EDUCATION WHERE STUDENTS HAVE TO LISTEN TO LECTURES, MEMORIZE THINGS, AND HARDLY EVER DO ANYTHING REAL?
Doesn't this sound like an example of a school that encourages projects and presentations?
