In this episode, we are speaking with Milissa McClaire Gary from the Nautilus School located in Chicago. Joining Milissa is a young learner – Andrew (we call him AJ) is almost 8 years old and is passionate about technology and cars. Nautilus opened in the Fall of 2018 with 3 learners. The Nautilus School in Chicago is an independent school empowering students to explore their world and drive their learning through a learner-centered education leveraged by their unique strengths, curiosity, and the community. Their reimagined one-room schoolhouse allows students of various ages and abilities to learn in a shared space. Students work at their own pace, as valued members of our learning community.
As a result of the conversation, here are a couple of questions we are asking:
-
- What learner-centered aspects of the Nautilus School might you apply in your school or district?
- How might you know your learners and be open and responsive to their needs?
