Innovation and the Honeycomb

It is really refreshing to see so many of you embracing the personalized learning elements of the honeycomb.  With The Institute at CESA 1 in our own backyard, we are primed to continue our growth of learner-centered innovation.  Real change starts with each of you, but you have to start! Our learners are screaming for us to make their learning relevant, relatable and fun!

As our learning spaces become more student-friendly, engaging places to learn, it becomes critical that we match our teaching and instruction to these dynamic environments. That is why it becomes so important to truly dig deeply into the core components of the honeycomb and then network to find out how you can implement this core so that our classrooms are truly transformed.

Learner Profiles- do each one of your students have an individual portfolio where they control and manage uploading artifacts to show their evidence of learning? If not, why not?

Customized Learning Paths- are you seizing an opportunity to adjust instruction that is unique to each individual need or are you still operating from the platform of what is best for most students?

Proficiency-based Progress- are proficiency-based pathways part of your classroom conversations and planning?

These core components of the honeycomb are hard work, no question! The good news is there are tons of professional educators in each of our schools that are digging deeply into this work. Connect, engage, look at the faces of those kids and then ask yourself....what am I waiting for?
