Project / Presentation
Each day of the week students will research a different driving question through project based learning, with each topic lasting between 10 and 19 weeks. Over the course of the project students will develop self-expression, critical thinking and a spirit of inquiry that will help them to construct a presentation to share the knowledge they have acquired with their parents and peers. CGK’s philosophy of student led learning is present throughout all projects with students taking charge of their own learning by deciding the direction of their projects and researching areas that interest them. Teachers will proactively respond to the student’s inquiry and support them in their learning. Where appropriate students will have the opportunity to share their progress with their peers through presentations and receive constructive feedback.
