Creative Passion Projects

When the pandemic first hit and closed down schools in March, I was grateful to continue working from home for Treaty Education Alliance, who I was employed by at the time. We spent the spring months hosting regular PD meetings with teachers trying to develop the best strategies for keeping students engaged in learning from home with help from their teachers to guide the process. I thought, what better place to start than to engage students in creating projects around what they are already good at, most interested in and/or passionate about.

At the time, I was hosting weekly PD’s with an awesome group of middle-years teachers through the Teams platform. I decided to update an inquiry-project template that I had used earlier in my teaching career and adapt it to engage student passion and interests.

Treaty Education Alliance has made this a free resource for others to utilize. The hope is that it can help spark creative passion projects for anyone to take up in their own lives. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have a passion project that you’d like to see featured on this featured blog page, and I would be happy to share it with a wider audience here.

Here is the link to the PDF version of the template:
