Talk about profound learning!! This is the Denver Green School's application to be designated an Innovation School in Colorado. Check out Juana's experience at the School on page four.
Their plan includes Colorado State Standards and info. on requested waivers. This school planned to use Project-Based, Place-Based Education and Education for Sustainability (EFS) to provide a "hands-on, brains-on" learning experience for all. The blue highlighted section on page five discusses how "Backward Lesson Design" will be used to integrate the EFS standards and instructional models included into the content and Colorado State Standards. This is to allow the teachers the flexibility to adjust within the model in their classrooms.

I love how they chose sustainability as the underlying platform because it supports an interdisciplinary approach. Just one example of how we might be able to institute some real changes, while paying close attention to state standards... []
