Inside Teaching and Learning at MIS

Exploring Risk & Reward in Middle School Drama Class

Learning is our core work at MIS, and so we are lifting it up and putting it forward by explaining our approach to teaching and learning through examples from MIS teachers in MIS classrooms. Learning Forward is a mini-podcast series about Teaching and Learning at MIS. In our teaching and learning policy, we encourage teachers to provide opportunities for learners to speculate, investigate, and make mistakes. This involves risk-taking in teaching to provide learners with new and interesting contexts for exploration and action. Listen to episode 2 to learn more about how Middle School Drama Teacher, Maddy Ryan, scaffolds and supports risk-taking in the MS Drama classroom.
