5 Radical Ideas to Reform Education

Came across this article and thought it would be an interesting read and discussion for all of us at upcoming book club (29th, my house) ( along with our book, Clockwork Universe)
Jal Mehta (assistant professor at Harvard Grad School of Education) published:      5 Pathways to Reshaping Schools

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results --sound like our current education system??  (U.S. ranks 14th in reading, 25th in math)
Mehta's ideas are radical which seems exactly what we need.... Enjoy!

Mark your calender for next week Thursday the 15th for scholar club.  We will meet at 7:00 and we will have treats and a cool Leonardo activity!  If you haven't started using a notebook to record thoughts and observations now is the time to start.  Bring your notebooks to scholar club and be prepared to show something you are comfortable sharing with the group.  Remember to include thoughts, drawings, ideas, quotes that inspire you and to ask lots of questions!  I look forward to seeing you.  Heather
