In our conversation, Carol explains that she has always taught a little outside of the box, but provided developmentally appropriate practices for the students she taught. She goes on to explain that “Polaris K-12 is an evolving program that creates an environment challenging students, teachers and parents to personal excellence, lifelong learning, and ethical responsibility to self, community, and world.” Hear how Carol and Polaris K-12 have made community connections that create the foundation for students to develop reflective learning skills while creating artifacts that allow students a broader perspective of their growth over time.
