"It is vital to nurture creativity and innovation through design, and by exploring the world in which we all live and work."
By the time they graduate from high school, we want each and every student to be college and career ready, and on a path to pursuing their dreams and living up to their full potential.
How do we help students reach their ambitions?
"Across 13 of the SFUSD high school campuses, there are nearly 4,000 students enrolled in College and Career Pathways. This means that throughout our schools, students are learning architecture and engineering, biotechnology, building and construction, health science, culinary arts, game design, digital communications, media arts, and environmental science"
Hands on activities prepares students to succeed in college and an ever-changing world of careers, while serving as innovators and change-makers in our community.

Hands-on learning allows students to understand what is happening and how to do something. This is a particularly successful way to teach kinaesthetic learners, who learn best by example.
At Sutton High School hands on learning is something where most teachers reported they incorporate in their weekly lesson plans as seen in my survey . The problem is there are classes that have more opportunity to use hands on teaching than others. A science class that has labs in the curriculum is a lot more easy at convenient than a precalc class. The truth is, a lot of the time visual and auditory are the only ones getting reached. This leaves other learners in the dust which I am going to continue to research on how we can benefit ALL 7 types of learners, not just a few :)
I will keep everyone posted!
This is not hands on, but this is similar- movement based :)
