Individual, Pairs, or Group?
In a more student-driven learning environment, students can choose whether to learn independently, in pairs, or in a small group.
So, when planning your instructional materials, consider including activities that offer those options. The best way to determine whether an activity should be individual, in pairs, or in small groups is to consider the purpose of the activity itself.
Small-Group Discussion Protocol
Elementary students can hold productive discussions by using a protocol that assigns each participant useful roles.
Use this tool to guide students as they setup and implement small-group discussions.
Problem-Based Leaning Unit: Would Thoreau Delete Your Account?
Students may not always recognize how similar our current society is to those of the past.
In this STEM unit, students will gain an understanding of how a love of nature and simplicity led Henry David Thoreau to spend more than two years at Walden Pond and inspired the work, Walden. Students will integrate knowledge of the Industrial Revolution and Thoreau's writing to further explore current environmental issues.

FAQs
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLEs AND VLCs
PLEs are focused learning essentials that introduce and model design moves you can implement immediately. VLCs are ongoing communities where teams apply those moves, share artifacts, and get facilitated feedback.
HOW LONG BEFORE WE SEE IMPACT
Most partners see early shifts in ownership and executive function within 4 to 6 weeks as routines take hold.
CAN THIS ALIGN WITH OUR CURRENT INITIATIVES
Yes. We map design moves to your standards, KPIs, schedule, and platforms so the work supports your priorities.
DO YOU OFFER ON-SITE AND VIRTUAL OPTIONS
Both. Many teams begin with a PLE and sustain momentum through a VLC.
DO YOU WORK BEYOND K-12
Yes. The same design principles translate to corporate and government training. We adjust problems, structures, and evidence collection to fit your context.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE
Learners who self-manage. Facilitators who coach. Systems where evidence of learning informs action.
