Education is changing. More and more emphasis is being placed on creating a learning environment that allows students to use critical thinking and to apply what they have learned in order to solve real-world problems. One of the best ways to create that type of environment is through a method called Inquiry Based Learning. It's also known as problem-based learning. Inquiry Based Learning, or IBL for short, is a method of teaching ... and learning ... that we formally introduced at Pioneer last school year. It allows us to tap into expertise of area businesses and to make them partners in the process of teaching. It challenges students to think, and to understand that the Math and English they just learned can really be applied in the real world.
Another area we are focusing on at Pioneer is work ethics. We want our students to understand the concept of work ethics and to graduate from high school as young adults prepared to enter the workforce as responsible employees.
