Learn Play Lead
Empower teachers. Engage students. Rebuild the classroom from the inside out. Great teachers change lives. But too many teachers are exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed by classroom management, and questioning whether they can continue in the profession. What happens when the good teachers leave?
SWAY Canada believes the answer is not another program imposed from above. It is empowering teachers from below.
Permissionless Education
Teachers should not have to wait for the system to change before improving their classrooms. Permissionless Education means giving teachers practical tools they can begin using themselves — one student, one lesson, one classroom at a time.
SWAY Canada helps teachers create classrooms where students have greater purpose, responsibility, accountability and ownership of their learning.
And when students become more engaged, teaching becomes more enjoyable again.
A SMART WAY to Learn, Earn & Play
SWAY Canada brings together three ideas:
CAP Notebooks — Learn
Students capture what was taught, make associations, reflect on how they learned and turn their learning into something meaningful.
The WAY Game — Play
Students use what they learn to create Game Cards, work in teams, solve problems and play. Learning becomes social, purposeful and memorable.
TeacherPreneuring — Earn
Teachers, students, parents, retirees and community members can use education, creativity and entrepreneurship to support classrooms, fund basic supplies and build opportunities beyond the classroom.
