Over 15 weeks, you and your students will have a chance to work with a small number of classrooms from around the world on a Learning Circle theme of your choice.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The structure of a Learning Circle comes from its design of phases. The first phase, "Getting Ready" at the start of the course, prepares you for participation in the project. In the following phases you get to know other circle members and progress to working together under your selected theme, but with your own curriculum. Your circle closes with each classroom presenting a final product that demonstrates the quality of learning that has taken place.
