The Art of Learning How to Learn
Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle High Svchool emphasizes not only subject matter but, more importantly, the process by which one “comes to know and understand.” Instead of passively receiving information and predefined explanations, students actively learn what they want and need to know.
Teachers guide students in the art of “learning how to learn” while acknowledging the socio-political context around race and language, recognizing their bias and privilege to disrupt the status quo.
