Overview
Big Picture Learning creates innovative learning environments through design, research, and educator training. This grant would enable its principals to experiment with different ways to offer policymakers and business leaders site visits to Big Picture schools so they can see firsthand instructional designs and student practices that advance deeper learning. This project supports the Program’s strategic goal of giving policymakers experiences that make the case for deeper learning; moreover, it would test the possibility that, with some capacity building, school personnel could conduct site visits independently, rather than having them coordinated through a separate grantee, as in the past.
