Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * April 9 - 13, 2018
EVENT NIGHT - APRIL 12th (5-7 pm)
An important and we believe, necessary, aspect of being a project-based learner is sharing your learning with an authentic audience. This is why we require that each project be presented to at least an audience of students' peers and two advisors. The showcase of learning is even better when it involves parents, community members, and business leaders. This is also why we require students to attend two Event Night functions a year, where students have a chance to share their learning with a large group of people. It's great to see the nervousness that students naturally feel fade away as the passion they feel for their learning takes over. Even better is the look on the audience members' faces as they are wowed with the knowledge and maturity of these high school students!
Presentations give students the chance to showcase their hard work, to teach others about the problem they are working to solve, and to develop their oral and written communication skills. As the content and audience changes, so to does the student's way of thinking, writing, and speaking. Developing these 21st century skills increases students' confidence in their presentation abilities and prepares them for future opportunities.
We look forward to seeing you at our 2nd Event Night of the year, Thursday, April 12 from 5-7pm.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
