Why Long-View Learning was nominated

Long-View Micro School was developed with a very intentional emphasis on school culture--one that would support a love for lifeline learning, building knowledge socially, and learning through inquiry and argument. Long-View is designed so that all learners engage in practices authentic to the academic disciplines they study. With a focused academic footprint, parents and learners have the opportunity to customize their education. Rather than restrictive grade bands, Long-View students learn in mixed-age groups, called Bands. These multi-aged cohorts promote stronger learning as well as ensures all learners are stretching toward the highest expectations. Their approach to math is incredibly innovative. Their math block is a rich, dimensional experience. There are multiple goals at play at any one time and the math content isn't explored in a strict, linear trajectory. Here, learners engage in active discourse around math concepts, evolving their understanding though discussion, making critical observations of their peers' work, and more. , Long-view is well regarded for its innovative and rigorous approach to mathematics, both in their approach to teaching and learning. Long-view offer the number lab to train teachers in their unique approach. They focus deeply on relationship-building., Long-View Micro School implements the innovative learning model, Math Block, which reimagines math education through an ideas-focused approach so learners can build deep mathematical knowledge and reasoning skills.

Student experience design

Through the Long-View Micro School experience and more generally in the participation in the culture of the school, learners develop initiative, adaptability, and curiosity; a bias toward taking intellectual risks and engaging fully in the learning process; and strength in critical listening, questioning, collaboration, and metacognition. Ultimately, Long-View strives to create learning experiences that cultivate intellectual, social, and behavioral autonomy and a durable identity as a lifelong learner.
