08/02/11: From the mouths of Harris students
A few weeks ago Caireen spent the morning interviewing Student Commissioners from the Harris Federation about their experiences in the role. Yet again she was reminded of what a powerful process the Student Commission has been for them, and of the passion and dedication they, and their teachers, have shown.
"I wasn’t always the best of students. But I joined the student commission and my perspective of learning changed. I can appreciate it, I can lead it and I can help others love learning like I do.”
“Now I know there is surface learning and deep learning. Surface learning is accepting the answers whereas deep learning is going into the answers, finding out where they originate, how they work and what impact they have.”
