A Ken Spencer Award, including a cheque for $3,000 was presented to staff and students of Saskatoon's Saint Anne School in recognition of their inquiry-based learning community.
This school-wide inquiry-based learning environment unfolds in various ways at Saint Anne’s – from students managing an indoor garden and hosting a spring garden sale, to managing the “atelier”, which is a creative space filled with donated materials and objects from nature. Students reserve time to create works of art, gifts, class projects, and handmade paper, which can be exhibited in the gallery and broadcast on a monitor in the school’s front entry. Desks are gone and have been replaced with tables to facilitate group work and collaboration. Student-created materials are always prominently displayed.
