Master Classes - Best Practices from CACPS

Codman Academy faculty have delivered a number of master classes at the annual Expeditionary Learning Schools National Conference. Master classes ask attendees to participate in a model expedition on a compelling topic, and then to consider how the aims and approach of the expedition might be applied in their own teaching environments.
