Professor Leaves Academia to Start a New & Game-Changing Kind of College | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
This concept of connection with the community is an exciting and interesting part of the Wayfinding Academy. While there will be some core courses of study for each student, Michelle envisions learning experiences where you walk into the room and find it hard to tell who is professor, full-time student, and who is a community member participating for personal growth and interest. It is a vision for an open learning community, one that blurs the distinctions between what happens in the school and what happens in the community. Students will spend signficant time in the community, and community members will hopefully be engaged and present in the school. As I listened to Michelle explain this vision, I pictured a community where the role of teacher and student is played by all.
