Learning
based on the EIC Model™ is about using a school's surroundings and
community as a framework within which students can construct their own
learning, guided by teachers and administrators using proven educational
practices.
The EIC
Model™ uses:
• integrated-interdisciplinary instruction
that breaks down traditional boundaries between disciplines;
• community-based investigations as learning
experiences that offer both minds-on and hands-on experiences through
service-learning opportunities;
• collaborative instruction so teachers,
parents, students and community members can connect together instruction and
learning;
• learner-centered, constructivist approaches
adapted to the needs and unique abilities of individual students;
• combinations of independent and cooperative learning;
and,
• local natural and community surroundings,
as the "venue" for connecting together these proven pedagogies, to
improve teaching and learning
