What's School got to do with it?
Virtual Mayor offers schools, from elementary to post secondary, a framework within which to include project based learning with ease. When students are given the freedom and flexibility to find their passions and determine how they will express them to the world, they receive many messages:
- They have value simply because they exist
- They have innate wisdom to know what matters in life, and their passions are legitimate guides
- Their opinions matter and are heard
- They have ability to contribute in a meaningful way
- They are uniquely designed to offer something that no one else can
- They are trusted to make life-affirming choices
- Failures are not final
- Life is a celebration when we choose to see it that way
- We are all interdependent with respect to each other
- Diversity is a law of nature that is to be cherished
ROLE OF TEACHERS IN VIRTUAL MAYOR
Teachers have a very important role because they are the models of freedom, expression and action who uphold the above messages. Teachers are facilitators for students who support projects with the flexibility of a healthy spine.
