Quantum Learning teachers bring a genuine passion for teaching, for their students’ success and for their subjects to the classroom that is contagious and that models important life skills. They set the stage for learning with: a strong FOUNDATION of aligned principles, beliefs, agreements, policies and rules for building an engaging classroom learning community; an empowering ATMOSPHERE of trust, safety and a sense of belonging. A “Home Court Advantage” for every student in every classroom; a rigorous and relevant curriculum lesson DESIGN frame that promotes greater learning and retention as well as collaboration, imagination, critical analysis, and experiential learning; and a thoughtfully-planned physical ENVIRONMENT that augments the learning process, providing important visual cues and physical support tools that are on purpose.
