Khan Academy "History of Education":
Summary: The classroom "flipped" -- the place for interactivity rather than imbibing information. Learn the subjects at home, interact about them or get through stuck points in class.
With the internet, information and even world-class lectures are easy to come by. Creativity is not. Focus is not. Experience is not. Grit is not.
Creativity. Focus. Interaction. Experience. Grit.
The most free-form learning environment. A place where students pursue what interests them and the instructor constantly alters the structure of the program to accommodate those interests. A pod of learners. Multi-age. Add "Working Memory" ... the value of flash cards in gardening: information you want to have available with you at all times, or that helps you integrate other information during experiences. Plant families are a good example from gardening.
We will learn advanced subjects using books, Khan Academy and other online tools, and coaching. Real-world "immersion" experiences will be facilitated by the teacher. This will be centered around the farm, growing our own food and reflecting on systems, stewardship, and self.
"Plug Into Life"
Class Leader rather than Teacher.
