Ali Hossaini on matching learning to the real world

[diadipaolo]

I have been working on promoting and developing real-world, interdisciplinary, and project--based curriculum since 2008. (Have been working as as State of Michigan certified teacher since 1993.) Thinking "outside the box" and with creativity and innovation is definitely where it is at. However, at the same time educators are being given more constraints with high-stakes testing and the national Common Core standards to cover. Meshing all these concepts together is the challenge of the future.
