 * Active**
 * Students are 'doing'-applying learning and using learning in meaningful ways
 * Students are //generating// knowledge through their participation in learning

 * Real/purposeful**
 * Students interact with others in real, authentic contexts
 * Connections are made between learning areas
 * **(as opposed to classroom-only contexts or in relation only to discreet knowledge areas)**
 * Relevant**
 * Learning is relevant to students' lives now an also supports their development as life-long learners
 * **(as opposed to learning relevant only to a limited range of possibilities from the past)**
 * Empowering**
 * There is attention to developing students' learning dispositions - their desire, inclination and will to learn
 * **(as opposed to a focus on complying with instructions, reliance on only teacher-directed, teacher-driven, teacher-prompted learning)**
