The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), the leading organization advocating for 21st century learning, has designated Weidner School of Inquiry @ PHS as an exemplar school for 2015, as part of a program to highlight exemplary 21st century learning practices that are improving schools and student learning in classrooms and communities across the United States.
WSOI Co-Directors Michael Delp and Jennifer Felke are humbled and honored to accept the designation of Exemplar School on behalf of the Weidner School of Inquiry’s staff and students. “This designation acknowledges our mission and efforts to prepare our learners for college, career and life,” said Felke. “We implement the P21 Framework for 21st century learning on a daily basis in our Project Based Learning (PBL) community of WSOI which is located inside Plymouth High School,” continued Felke.
Delp said, “This is a team recognition. The staff and students have worked extraordinarily hard and viewed all challenges as an opportunity to learn and grow.” Delp continued, “growth mindset is not just something we talk about, it is something we practice everyday at all levels at WSOI.”
The 2015 21st Century Learning Exemplars, including Weidner School of Inquiry @PHS were selected along with 14 schools through a rigorous application process, and evaluated for educational excellence and 21st century learning implementation.
