SXSW EDU 2022
School’s Out, Immersive Learning Is In
Description:
Far too often, students are expected to fit within one given framework a school prescribes, even when the students don’t all learn the same way or at the same pace. One movement in education allows students to be co-creators of their learning experience - not just in pacing, but in content, extracurriculars, and career exploration opportunities. Learn how an emerging network of independent high schools in Los Angeles is taking this on in partnership with a global tech company.
