Curvd Learning’s 3 Principles
Three key principles underlie all aspects of the Curvd learning approach to fostering the brilliance of young people as they cultivate skills to solve real problems, adapt to change, anticipate curveballs, and persevere through life’s challenges. Each educational context is different and there is no silver bullet solution to shifting educational paradigms to be more student-centered. These guideposts allow for customization and flexibility with the innovations we develop while ensuring that we stay true to our north star as an organization.
Students self-direct their learning pathways, are encouraged to follow their passions, and actively drive their experience through inquiry.
Students regularly face challenges, experience failure, and reflect on their learning. Students learn outside of their comfort zones and gain comfort with change and ambiguity.
Students engage in relevant, authentic experiences where they learn to identify and solve real problems. They face real-world challenges throughout their projects and learn how to fail, iterate, and change course- all while mastering standards-aligned content.
