Today, we had the opportunity to experience a Self-Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) in Jennifer Thibert’s Health class at South Albany High School. Instead of a teacher-directed note-taking lesson, students worked in groups to find their own answer to a “Big Question” and taught their peers about what they learned through mini-presentations. For more information about how to empower your students to be self-directed learners, read the SOLE toolkit developed by Sugatra Mitra.
