INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM
We would like to acknowledge that this resource was created on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan Nation
The learning sciences are enriching our understanding of how people learn best. Schools that are designed to leverage knowledge about learning will empower tomorrow's generation to become powerful learners, skilled workers and engaged citizens. Educators across our district are sharing their curiosity about how we might use research about the Nature of Learning to explore the creation of innovative learning environments.
Educators in the Central Okanagan are continually working with others to seek new learning that will help them to foster student agency and create the conditions for students to drive the learning. We have also asked them to share their learning stories in order to amplify learning across the district. We would like to thank them for being kind and brave enough to make their thinking and learning visible to others.
