Earning Criteria

Drawing upon lived experience and speculating on how education might be better, students generated ideas in response to the prompts: how might we ensure that content is relatable to students' lives? In which ways might students demonstrate their learning? How might we facilitate an effective learning environment? And how can technology best be used in the classroom?
After the initial generation, ideas circulated between participating students and teachers alike, being expanded on by each new person. The resulting ideas incorporated a range of perspectives, experiences, and values.
Finally, each idea was critically evaluated against the criteria of feasibility, desirability, creativity, and flexibility. Through this process, students provided advice on the best ideas for the future MTS programs they and their peers will experience.
