On Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Nenana City School students will engage in their first public Exhibition of Learning. The event will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 at the school.
A fundamental goal of project-based learning is to develop lifelong learners who use their minds and skills effectively. The exhibition allows our students to share key elements of what they have learned from their academic work and how they plan to take responsibility for their future learning.
This exhibition is required of our students because we believe it increases student accountability for learning. This experience provides them with valuable practice in organizing their thoughts, speaking before groups, forming reasoned judgments and solving problems, and working collaboratively with their peers. Students acquire confidence in communicating to an audience, develop critical analysis skills and become reflective learners in the process.
For parents, the Exhibition of Learning provides an understanding of the multiple learning activities and layered processes that the students at Nenana City School have been involved in this semester. You will see firsthand the design, knowledge, skills, learning and products from each project presented in the exhibition.
