The Whitnall School District serves the village of Hales Corners, a portion of the city of Franklin, and a portion of the city of Greenfield. There are five schools in the district: Edgerton Elementary, Hales Corners Elementary, Whitnall Middle School, Whitnall High School, and CORE 4 (a 4K Charter School housed in both elementary schools). The student population attending the five schools averages 2,500 yearly.
How might we engage learners in a way that fosters innovation, risk-taking, and exploration to attain personal learning goals without the fear of failure?
