In this clip Alec talks about his experiences at his Big Picture School, Montrose Bay, how Big Picture has allowed him to extend himself, and how he used his internship to create his individual learning plans.
Thanks Alec for sharing your story with us!
In the video below US educator Will Richardson talks about the changing world of education and why it is imperative that we "stop thinking better, and start thinking different".
One the key roles of BPEA is supporting Big Picture schools with resources and tools to support and promote their work. In doing this, we work "one school at a time" and customise the materials to take account of different contexts.
Recently we produced a Big Picture promotional video tailored for Jordan River Learning Foundation, Senior School (formerly known as Bridgewater High School).
It is amazing what a real world problem plus a thirst for learning can achieve... Thankyou TED for this inspiring video:
