Rezensionen / Stimmen
Hear from Pernille's students what it means to co-create empowering learning environments
"Being a student in Mrs. Ripp's class was different from being in other classrooms because of the way we were invited to have a say in what we were learning. Because I was invested in what I was learning, I was motivated to engage in learning."-Meghan
"The classroom experience felt amazing for me. Other teachers should teach this way because it has a good, huge impact on the student and makes them mentally, emotionally, and physically feel more safe and comfortable in the classroom."-Madi
"Mrs. Ripp ... showed me that teachers don't have to teach to see good grades and right answers. They can teach to inspire, to allow creativity, to foster individual ability and achievement within that, to allow choice with learning, and to foster a love for learning within every student." -Alyssa
"I was always given space to improve and grow in the classroom."-Adam
"Mrs. Ripp's classroom always felt like a safe space for everyone. She was strict on our work but understood our personal stories as well. Mrs. Ripp set a great example for a balance of strictness in schoolwork, and understanding how we act as middle schoolers and our abilities."-Morgan
