The BAGO Mic

The microphone is the tool. Speaking, listening, interviewing, storytelling, preparation, teamwork, confidence, and student voice are the real work.

Projects Students Remember

Learning in our classroom includes experiences students can point back to years later: Indigenous Changemakers, Hamilton, giant maps, podcasting, Native News, Funky Houses, and other opportunities to learn by doing.

Learn by Doing

Projects, maps, podcasts, performances, research, collaboration, and real audiences turn learning into experiences worth remembering.
