A Little Alternative Education History - a little

A LIttle History Lesson - a little

 

The material from this discussion originated from this essay: 

 

A Brief History of Alternative Education by Ron Miller

 

We aren’t able to discuss the entirety of the essay - we are able to skim through some programs and their philosophies, and some of the founders we have to thank for many of our current structures.  

 

While we bring in ideas from previous episodes, it is a fun and lively chat. 

 

Should we encourage seminar-style learning?  Much like a dialog between students wherein they should be able to discuss both sides of an issue, whether they agree or not?  How do we encourage learning and intellectual capital? 

 

What do we do that other cultures do that work?  Are there really crucial differences? 

 

Are we headed for an Alternative Education drought?  What does that look like?  Philip is going to delve into this for a future learning opportunity!
