The Honors Experience
In ALL advanced courses, students will...
- see themselves as a connected part of a community of learners where perspectives, passions, and prior experiences are valued.
- engage in performance tasks for the course as a way of making connections across skills in a relevant and authentic context.
- participate in exploratory experiences that generate questions and theories as a way to make meaning and gain a deeper understanding of a concept.
- take an active role in measuring their learning in an ongoing cycle of feedback, reflection, and action to refine their understanding.
- grapple with concepts, skills, and ideas that will require perseverance and time to build complex understanding.
- engage in discourse with others around the essential questions/enduring understandings as they make connections and explore concepts.
