Support for Experiential Learning Leslie and Bruce Lane (parents of Dana ’17) want to give students the opportunity to experience life outside of GDS and our classrooms. Bill and Mary Kerr (grandparents of Isabel ’19 and Jason ’24) understand that moments of exploration and discovery can shape and re-shape a young person’s life, career, and outlook. That is why both of these families have dedicated significant funds ($150,000 and $100,000 respectively) to the GDS Experiential Learning Curriculum. “Curriculum Evolution – Providing students with skills to collaborate and innovate for tomorrow’s needs” is Goal 3 of the GDS Strategic Plan. Under that goal, Objective 5 is focused on PK-12 experiential learning curriculum and calls for us to innovate existing and develop new PK-12 experiential learning opportunities (e.g. minimesters, policy institute, MS/HS entrepreneurship curriculum) and develop a plan for implementation. The Lanes and the Kerrs are directly supporting these innovations, and changing the course of our students’ lives, one experience and one student at a time.
