“So what’s our next project?”
That was the best feedback Glenwood Springs Middle School teacher Lucia Campbell could have received after working with her class on the project Bilingual Voices: Life Changing Stories for six weeks.
“As a teacher I was like, ‘oh my gosh aren’t you exhausted from the last project?’ They were in their heads thinking ‘OK now I know how this works and I’m ready to do the next project, it’ll be better.’ I mean that’s just the greatest feedback you can get as a teacher,” Campbell said.
Expeditionary Learning (EL), a national education organization recognized the same students’ work with a certificate of excellence. The students have been invited to share their stories via Zoom for EL’s annual conference. In a news release from Voices, it said the categories EL considered when presenting the awards were authenticity, craftsmanship and complexity.
