Ralston Elementary, a public K-6school in Golden, Colorado, works to create 21st-century learners who know how to problem solve, and who will persevere not only in school but throughout life. The schoolwide practices of inquiry-based learning, departmentalization, and integration allow students to deep dive into content, take charge of their own learning, and apply what they learn across subjects.
