Innovative Instruction
H.A.C.K. Model
The H.A.C.K. Model of Innovative Instruction is designed to move a classroom from a Highly Structured environment to a student-centered environment where students take ownership and personalize their learning. The H.A.C.K. Model builds teacher capacity to become the facilitator of learning and transfer ownership to students. In a classroom where the H.A.C.K. Model is implemented, students will build capacity and independence to become self directed PBL learners.
