Creative learning engages students as age and ability allow through experience, choice, and connections among concepts. Lessons are challenging and full of happy, busy doing, combined with moments of quiet and pause. Transitions accommodate all learners in spaces that allow everyone to know productive success, trial and error that focuses on personal learning targets.
