Real knowledge comes from experiences
Learning environments are powerful
that are authentic and engaging. Young people
learn when learning is connected
to the real world they live in, to the other things
they are studying throughout the day,
and to issues they care about.
At Paulo Freire Freedom School
we create
learning environments
that support powerful teaching and learning.
when they are aligned with the following
principles
of best instructional practice;
when they are:
"student-centered, experiential, holistic,
authentic, expressive,
reflective, social,
collaborative, democratic, cognitive, developmental,
constructivist,
and challenging."
but at Paulo Freire Freedom School
we believe that learning can also be a joyful experience.
Our students are encouraged
to pursue individual passions,
to explore their issues with peers, and to experience
the satisfaction of knowing how to navigate
through complex ideas and problems.
To know is freedom.
To know is to have power.
