This week we had another guest speaker, this time it was a man named Jeff Hopkins. He is the founder of and principal of the Pacific School of Innovation and Inquiry. This school is an inquiry based, independent school in Victoria, BC. It doesn’t follow the traditional curriculum and students are able to choose inquires based on what interests they have. As this is an independent school students are not marked in a traditional sense rather they are marked based on their achievement of the goals they set for themselves.I like that students have the ability to look into what interests them rather then just following a set curriculum. I like the idea of assessment they have at PSII a lot more then how we asses students in more traditional schooling as I believe all students are individual and as education isn’t linear and instead is an individual process students should be marked as such.
