Education
We had the chance to sit down and chat with three amazing educators at Southeast Junior High in the Iowa City Community School District. Scott Stimmel, Michele Kopecky and Mike Keller-Wilson are three teachers pioneering a new program called CASL which stands for Cross-Curricular Approach to Student-Driven Learning. Michele teaches global studies, Scott teaches science and Mike teaches language arts. This new program is currently offered to 7th graders, but Southeast Junior High is looking to expand it to 8th grade at the start of the 2018-2019 school year.
