Our current educational system, as most of our society, is set up to reflect a culture that uses language and thinking based on competitive sports and combat. This thinking puts us into two categories–winners or losers. We use language such as: You’re up to bat. Hit a homerun. Score two points. Ball in the gutter. […]
In our new education, as we give our children (and hopefully our adults, too) daily opportunities for self-selected meaningful learning activities in specially prepared environments comprised of people, tools, nature and ideas, we will begin to see a new kind of child. This new child will have certain observable attributes that will allow parents and […]
Mark Twain in his adventures of Tom Sawyer tells of Tom playing hooky from school, usually fishing or roaming in the woods. On a beautiful spring or fall day, life in a classroom was disconnected from a young boy’s need to get out and explore, and perhaps do something meaningful, such as catch a fish […]
As we look towards the new education, we see that our constant testing for facts and measuring academic skills have robbed our children of rich and meaningful learning experiences. For deep learning, we need to involve the whole person–mind, body, heart, and spirit. Human potential cannot be quantified. As we study history and explore human […]
The human being grows based on experiences in his or her environment. Brain development and learning are based on an individual’s interaction with sensory information. Even in utero, our brains react, change and grow according to stimuli. Human beings are born to connect positively to the people and objects in their immediate surroundings. We naturally […]
In shaping the new education, we’ll need to understand key concepts: how learning takes place, how to create a new way of assuring proficiency, how to stock each student’s box of learning tools, how to allow for deep learning time on a daily and multi-year level, as well as how to appreciate the uniqueness of […]
In our model of exponential education, our methods of teaching and learning will be scientific in approach and execution. We’ll understand how children learn, and we will teach using principles, methods and techniques based on observable ways that children and adults learn best. Our schools will focus on helping children and adults have the tools […]
In our education for a new world, we learn to respect and honor the uniqueness of our children, while giving students, teachers and parents the time to learn and forge partnerships. In this new system, children possess a set of age-appropriate tools to organize thoughts and actions, to problem solve, to foster self-expression and to […]
As human beings, the problem solvers, we need learning tools that will help us organize our thinking and actions, tools that help us with self-expression, tools that help us learn to problem solve while digging out facts and tools that help us prepare for performance of our goals and objectives. In our current educational system, […]
Research shows that to master a subject requires 10,000 hours of concentrated practice. At 40 hours per week, 50 weeks a year, we’d need 5 years to become a master. Ratchet that time down to 20 hours per week and we are looking at 10 years. Ten hours a week of practice, we’ll need 20 […]
