REKLA (Reimagined) EDUCATION

📚 Phenomenon-Based Learning connects different subjects through real-world topics. Instead of studying subjects separately, students explore a big idea like climate change or city life across science, social studies, and language. Teachers guide students as they ask questions, research, and create solutions together. This helps students see how everything fits together in daily life and helps understanding stay strong and lasting. For example, a Finnish teacher had her students study a local river’s health. They learned science by testing water, social studies by talking about community use, and language arts by writing reports to share. The students got excited because their learning felt useful and real. How could you bring real-world topics into your classroom?
