Success, but Slowly, as Met School Redefines Learning
Pearson, George
Education Canada, v52 n5 2012
Seven Oaks Met School, the only high school in Canada that is part of the U.S.-based Big Picture Learning network of innovative schools, graduated its first class this spring. Internships with businesses and institutions in the community are a core element of the Met School experience. Students report on their internship experience, as well as on individual projects and their academic progress, through quarterly "exhibitions," hour-long stand-up presentations for classmates in their advisory group, parents, staff, internship mentors and anyone else the student chooses to invite. The teacher-advisor for class or "advisory" remains with the same group of students throughout their four years of high school.
