ABSTRACT
Passion-Driven classrooms come in many forms; yet, there are key, common essentials to consider, whether it is an elementary third-grade classroom or a high school technology course. Reflection is the cornerstone of the Passion-Driven Classroom. Curiosity and inquiry drive the learning in the classroom. All of the learning clubs are dedicated to helping students develop into better readers, writers, thinkers, collaborators, and most important, explore their interests as passion-driven learners. Students must develop patterns of thinking and develop habits in which their ability is combined with their inclination to think well and engage in metacognitive exercises. Students must have the opportunity to see passion-driven learning, but also the experience of developing their own passions. The environment is organized specifically for more than an education, rather, an educational experience that is just as focused on the HOW students learn as the WHAT students are learning.
