David also has done additional course work on the storyline method of education. Before joining our program this year he taught 4th and 5th grades at Sitton School in North Portland. David has been active at KBOO Radio for 25 years and hosts a jazz show. Students gain insight into how to think and find things out on their own. They learn about ways to work together to solve complex problems.
Students are interested in learning and willing to take chances.
I appreciate all the support from their families too. It helps that students have had similar experiences in all grades. Some of the topics we study are exploration, American history and ecology. We utilize storyline, class projects, individual research, computer technology and experimentation.
