Rethink High School
XQ PowerUp Bundle
The Rethink High School XQ PowerUps blend insights from the science of learning with real examples from schools and classrooms.
Created in partnership with ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton College and with contributions from Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond of the Learning Policy Institute, the nine PowerUp modules are available free for users everywhere.
Practical resources for professional learning
Blending research with real-world tools that educators can apply immediately, the XQ PowerUps feature engaging video clips from The First Class, a documentary film about the founding class of Crosstown High in Memphis. Each module comes complete with helpful discussion prompts, teaching and learning strategies, extension activities, and more.
