EL Design Principle in Action
The Responsibility for Learning
Learning is both a personal process of discovery and a social activity. Everyone learns both individually and as part of a group. Every aspect of an Expeditionary Learning school encourages both children and adults to become increasingly responsible for directing their own personal and collective learning.
Seniors at Capital City Public Charter School, an EL school in Washington DC, were honored by First Lady Michelle Obama's visit to congratulate them on their college application completion and walk to the post office. Each year at Capital City, seniors match the halls and then to the post office to mail their applications to prospective colleges. Every senior submits at least one, but many submit multiple applications.
What an amazing example of learning and preparation at a sister EL school. Read the article below for more details.
