Description
Imagine a high school with no tests, or even grades, a high school where the students lead the way in their own learning and pursue interests they are truly passionate about.
That's what's happening on the Tulalip Indian reservation right now.
They're calling it the "de-colonization of education."
How students learn is just as important as what students learn at Marysville's Tulalip Heritage High School.
"Students work to find what they're passionate about," said teacher Marina Benally. "It doesn't mean a career. It's what are you passionate about."
Gone are the textbooks, exams and grading standards used in high schools forever. They've been replaced with conversations about what inspires students and makes them interested in learning.
Their curriculum is then built around that.
Students take the lead and are fully invested in their education.
"It's really easier to process something that I actually want to know and am interested in and chose to do," said student Raylee Lewis.
