Is extended test prep actually getting in the way of student learning? In this conversation, we explore a challenge many schools face at the end of the year: when classrooms shift into weeks of passive exam review, students can become less engaged and retain less of what they’ve learned. Instead of stopping meaningful learning to “prepare for the test,” what happens when students continue engaging with new ideas, authentic tasks, discussion, and deeper thinking right up until the end? At Open Way Learning, we believe engagement and achievement are deeply connected. Learning sticks when students stay curious, connected, and actively involved in the work. #OpenWayLearning #StudentCenteredLearning #DeeperLearning #EducationInnovation #Assessment #AuthenticLearning #ProjectBasedLearning #LearningThatSticks
