What Makes TEA Unique? A 2nd-Grader’s Perspective
Our 2nd-graders are studying the different ways people learn during their Schools and Community Learning Expedition. The students are seeking to understand what schools are and why they are important.
Learning About What Unites and Divides Us in the Windy City
Our group of HS students had an immense goal when they set out to study Unity and Division, and the students far exceeded what we thought we could cover. After 10 days in Chicago, students walked away with a better understanding of power, privilege, and identity, and what an individual can do to make the world a little bit better.
A Letter About #GivingTuesday at TEA from Taylor Simmers
