Ten years ago, something special took root at Dawson. Initiated and driven by a diverse group of teachers, supported by a rich foundation of evidence and research, and with the goal of developing better teaching and learning practices, a rough-around-the-edges Learning Community of a dozen or so individuals designed and oversaw the development of Dawson鈥檚 first Active Learning (AL) classroom and grew into the Dawson Active Learning Community (DALC).
Since then, we have evolved, adapted, and grown into a multi-faceted community and we have overseen the development of a variety of Active Learning classrooms.

Unfold, the title and theme of this year鈥檚 Arts, Literature and Communication (ALC) Festival, presents creative works by students in the ALC program made in the first semester of in-person learning since March 2020. To unfold is to smooth surfaces, to disclose what is or has been hidden from view, to reveal secrets and potentials. Unfold celebrates the opening up and continuation of our lives as the pandemic starts to wane.
Some of the works in the festival reflect upon the changes undertaken in the last 18 months and speculate on changes still to come.听 Others address how COVID has altered our customs of interaction with each other and the effects these transformations have had on our family life and friendships. All the works on view remind us that new ways of knowing and being are always unfolding.
