HIGH TECH HIGH

MOC HTH PPP
Welcome to the page dedicated to my leading schools project, this changed my life both professionally and personally. Throughout the 2012 and 2013 I focused on developing my understanding of PBL but also how the Arts in particular Visual Art can play a significant role in supporting core curriculum subjects. See the grey buttons that lead to four examples of projects that combine Art with English, Science and Maths, interviews I conducted with Teachers and Students and information about my experience with High Tech High and the Leading Schools Program.
