Graham Baldwin - Senior High, A New Approach
Conversations That Matter features Graham Baldwin on why it’s time to treat high school seniors with respect. Baldwin contends that if we “treat people in grades 10 through 12 a little bit more like adults than high school children, in an attempt to get them ready for not only going to university, but succeeding there. We want them to be ready for success.”
He created what he calls a “Miniversity” where seniors study intensive 20 day blocks of only one subject. Baldwin says, “we’ve re-imagined everything really back to the bare bones and knowing what we know now about learning, knowing what we know now about universities, what would grade 10 through 12 education look like for people
who are preparing for that?”
