In this podcast, students shared how they are feeling about living off grid, and what they are worried about (and excited about). Because we are tackling something that requires a fair amount of systems thinking, we have found that we are needing to do some good scheduling of events and workshops so we can get a broad understanding.

In this episode, Charlie Jett discusses Field Studies in depth. Field Studies were highlighted by the Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) report, “Teaching the SCANS Competencies” as an effective means of teaching the Critical skills.
Field Studies are conducted by a team of students and focus on issues identified by local area businesses or community service organizations. The students write a confirmation letter, develop a work plan, develop an interview guide, collect data (primarily through interviews), verify the information for truth and accuracy, and conduct their analysis to develop findings, conclusions and recommendations. Assessment is authentic.
Students down to the middle school level are capable of conducting Field Studies.
