When we talk about real-world learning, THIS is what we mean! 🔍 Students at #XQSchool Elizabethton High School cracked a 40-year-old cold case as part of a project-based learning (PBL) experience led by educator Alex Campbell. After Campbell proposed the investigation, his sociology class became passionately determined to solve the case. Their journey didn’t end there—they turned their findings into the trending podcast Murder 101 and have since tackled other impactful projects, including efforts to free an innocent woman from jail! 🎙️ Want to learn more about their remarkable work?

What if most high school students spent time learning beyond the confines of seat time requirements? What if high school students were engaged in projects that: 🏡 Made authentic, meaningful connections to their communities? 🤝 Created assignments where they engage with industry experts? 💡 Learned competencies and skills needed beyond content standards? Good news, everyone: these projects are already happening. XQ’s Edward Montalvo spoke with Mike Celleme of XQ’s Latitude High School to gain insights on experiential learning. Learn more:

Teacher Tip Tuesday Repost from Miss Thomas: • TEACHER TIP #6: LEARNER OUTCOMES🫶🏽 The educational system is consistently bombarding students and educators with extensive courses and standards that don’t truly prepare students for society. It's time to RETHINK high school, and XQ is empowering schools and communities to do just that! XQ Learner Outcomes serve as a guiding light, helping educators create more meaningful learning experiences, and guide students to engage deeply, master skills, and prepare for their futures. I can’t wait to implement some of these competencies in my SEL warm-ups! • #TheFirstClassDoc #ReThinkHighSchool #TeacherResources
