So many great ideas about teaching and learning have little impact on educational practice. Innovations in education are attempted all the time, but few of them stick or scale up. The reason for this is that many innovations, changes, or reforms are those which do not affect the core of educational practice the nature of knowledge as under- stood by students and teachers and how this is manifested in the classroom. The core of educational practice may include physical layouts of schools and class- rooms, processes of assessing and evaluating student learning, communicating this to students, teachers, and parents, groupings of students, delivery style of lessons, types of questions that are asked, levels of thinking that are attained, teachers working relation- ships with each other. These all focus on the outcomes of learning experiences. Schools change all the time but these changes do not involve the core of educa- tional practice. They change the way they arrange schedules, they change class sizes, they change textbook series, tests, grouping practices, administrative roles, but these are not connected to the way knowledge is con- structed or the division of responsibility between teachers and students. Getting our students to learn at higher levels and increasing student achievement in schools today requires change in the way we fdo school. It requires changing the core o schooling. This is the sort of change that interests Oakville Christian School. Implementing the Schoolwide Enrichment Model improves the learning experience for our students in several ways. Our students have the opportunity to shine in the areas where they are strong and are deeply inter- ested. Students are exposed to many real- world applications to learning and many career opportunities that get them thinking about their future. Students have the oppor- tunities to face head-on some real-world problems and apply their learning to create real solutions and products. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model is designed to bring about changes in schools. Its vision for schools is that they become places of talent development. Everyone has an important role to play in societal improve- fment and everyones role can be enhanced i educators provide students with opportuni- ties, resources, and encouragement. For more details about the Schoolwide Enrichment Model, please call Janice Wood at 905- 825 -1247 ext 221 to arrange an in school tour. fEnriched learning osters individual development, real-world applications Advertorial k ll h h lOa vi e C ristian Sc oo
