The Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium, and Keweenaw’s Journey Toward Student-Centered Learning
This case study explores the motivations behind The Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium, and Keweenaw’s shift towards making learning more student-centered. They are breaking the mold of traditional grade levels, spurring creativity and cross-curricular connections with makerspaces, personalizing learning with a multitude of programs and pathways, taking a “student first” approach, and meeting the diverse needs of students and their families. As a school district, they have made some intentional decisions, stepped outside of their comfort zone, harnessed their professional learning, and ultimately capitalized upon the constant state of change in education resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, realizing that they can’t afford to—and don’t want to—return to “normal.” Click on the Case Study button below to learn more about the great work happening at CLK Schools.
