Reimagining the School Day: Learning Outside the Classroom
Listen to this important discussion on rethinking the basic structure of the school day to enhance learning and make schools more rewarding for students whose learning styles don't necessarily match the century-old division of learning into hourly periods, multiple times a day, five days a week. Working with school districts and charter schools, Big Picture Learning is implementing an exciting approach which includes students spending time during the school day in internships. In this episode, co-host Pedro Noguera interviews Big Picture co-executive director Carlos Moreno, and Louis Freedberg visits MetWest High, a Big Picture school in Oakland, California.
