History of the Project
This lead me to consider larger-scale patterns of learning and teaching that transcend learning styles and methods.The pattern that must be dynamic and generative: Dynamic because the world we live in and know is constantly changing; Generative because the ultimate goals of teaching and learning are to create a new understanding and strengthen the ability to apply that understnding to new situations and to make students actively engage in the learning process and not be just passive recipients of knowledge but to establish and allow them to express their expectation of me as the teacher and make them learn from each other successes and mistake.

Why Falcon?
SUPER FALCON? As a teacher I want my students likening to the fastest flying bird on earth, the “Peregrine Falcon” which known due to its hunting stoop (high speed dive). With this, I want my student to be Super Friendly And Loving Children Of Nations (Falcon) as they stoop navigating towards new concepts, skills, and challenges. Being respectful, responsible and safe as I created and nurtured an open and non-threatening learning environment that stimulates a teacher - student relationship, where students can feel safe and connect between what they know and what they need to learn. The goal is not to simple extend their knowledge with a particular set of facts, but to help them understand how to use new knowledge as another tool to solve new problems that do not strictly fit the mold of their past experiences.
