Thematic program
A term-long theme with activities for all eight intelligences and “stations” that students rotate through.
Home / For schools
For schools and learning centersTeaching that engages every student
Students are different, yet lessons often rely on talk and notebooks alone. We help you build programs that use eight pathways to learning and aim at real understanding.
Teacher training
One or two days: backward design, essential questions and varied activities around a single topic.
Portfolios and authentic assessment
Ways to show parents a student's progress through samples of work, not just grades.
Program audit
A review of your current programs against clear criteria, with recommendations for improvement.
Sample program: the term theme “Journeys”
Eight stations every Saturday. Students start at the station they like best and then rotate through all the others.
| Station | Activity |
|---|---|
| Linguistic | stories and poems about journeys |
| Logical-mathematical | working out the cost of a trip |
| Spatial | drawing a map of an imaginary land |
| Bodily-kinesthetic | traditional movement games |
| Musical | Tajik songs about the road and the homeland |
| Interpersonal | a group project: “our class journey” |
| Intrapersonal | a personal travel journal |
| Naturalistic | plants and animals of different countries |
What we measure together
- student attendance and engagement;
- parent satisfaction;
- the quality of student portfolios and presentations.
How it works
A review of where you are now, backward design of the program, preparation of materials, teacher training, a pilot and revisions. Usually 2–4 months.
