Wow! This is next generation learning at its best! I was very impressed with the model. The students get individualized instruction that can be customized just for them. The teachers are more like facilitators which is so much more engaging than the traditional models. Students learn to investigate and build critical thinking skills which is a huge void in today's traditional educational models.
We have to find ways to expand the minds of students and the Open High School is doing just that. I don't know about you, but I saw students that looked so engaged and excited about learning. The flexibility and the use of innovative technology is ideal for this generation. Kudos to the forward thinking administrators in Utah that are preparing students for the 21st century.
I am sure that this might not work for every learner or every teacher but it should definitely be an option. I do wonder why there are so few open high schools in the U.S. This model seems to be very successful so why can't this be replicated. Hopefully, as we work to revamp the current education system we can use this model as a benchmark.
