Adventures in Learning

A blog about Learning, about Education, about reform, about change, about what it means to teach. I am trying to ask the question "Why we educate" and what my answer means to me as a teacher and how my role shapes society and the whole.

“Fresh Air, Fresh Future” | Eugene’s Outdoor High School (by Jason A. Williams)

Great example of a human scale/center school! 

One of the students at the end says, “They just take the time to get to know us”

Being known unconditionally is can change a students education journey from failure to success. Being known came up again and again in my research and the lack of it as one of the biggest weakness of large comprehensive schools. The more students you have the less likely you will be known or be able to know your students. Relationship is important to deep learning.
