Sunday, November 23, 2008. But our systems all still work, and work well enough in their way, but the retrofitting is becoming a bit more of a challenge. As our founders did, we have recognized the need for some new conceptions, and so we have completed a master plan and are pondering the best way to bring the new concepts of space and work into being. School Design: Be the Change. Your own. (tags: school. Posted by Peter Gow. Labels: 21st century skills. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Classroom teachers ha...

Monday, September 21, 2009. The Old Progressivism, redux. On my office wall for many years I've had posted a copy of "The Principles of Progressive Education," a seven-point 1924 document written on behalf of the Progressive Education Association by, I am told, Eugene Randolph Smith, a progressive educator who was founding head of both the Park School of Baltimore and Beaver Country Day School, outside Boston. I'll quote the entire document after the break. The Principles of Progressive Education. Intere...

The New Progressive: Edu-Porn
http://www.newprogressivism.org/2010/02/edu-porn.html
Wednesday, February 03, 2010. A smart blogger at Toxic Culture. Correctly identified as "edu-porn" those feel-good articles and films that show a well-meaning rebel thinking outside the box and transforming schools and classrooms, one caring little environment at a time. Ever since Mr. Daddy-O decided to come back for another round of teaching would-be juvenile delinquents in the 1956 film Blackboard Jungle. The novel on which the film was based, did after 17 days as a teacher). Often enough the blame fo...

Saturday, December 27, 2008. A tale of the New Progressivism (dedicated to Harry M.A. Hart, wherever he may be). But I'm not here to talk politics but rather to take the coming rollover of the calendar as an excuse to tell the tale of my conversion to the New Progressivism. At the NAIS Annual Conference, probably in 1991. The man who gave me this treasure is the dedicatee of this piece. And students could be engaged in the process not because clever teachers could entertain them into learning but because...

Friday, February 19, 2010. Our professional day last week was built around a great conference sponsored by EdSocialMedia. With lots of good stuff for school communications/marketing folks as well as for classroom teachers. So many things to think about. I was fortunate to be part of a panel on "The Future of Teaching," led by Antonio Viva. And featuring my colleague Kelley Connolly. As well as Bill Stites. Of Montclair Kimberly Academy. Of the Dwight School, and Hans Mundahl. Are so enthusiastic about cr...

Teaching, technology and other such stuff. Innovative School in Our Backyard. I just finished watching this video about Project Based Learning at King Middle School. King is right down the street from us and they do incredible work with kids. I often wonder if we can do some of the projects they do with our students. Why not? Take the time to watch this video – it’s worth it. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. May 10, 2013. Waynflete in the News. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. March 25, 2013.

Friday, November 06, 2009. The Intentional Teacher, at last. I'm pleased to mention here that The Intentional Teacher: Forging a Great Career in the Independent School Classroom. Is at last available. Although the book can be ordered by phone directly from the publisher, Avocus Publishing. 800-345-6665; their website is undergoing renovation), the best way to purchase at this point is from Amazon. What it takes to be a teacher. Getting to know students. Advising and supervising outside the classroom.

Saturday, March 07, 2009. What is great curriculum? Ever since Jerome Bruner. But the question remains: What makes great. What separates excellent curriculum (and assessment) and the outstanding, lasting learning that it generates from ho-hum, average or poor quality learning designs and experiences? A couple of weeks ago I wrote here about the Independent Curriculum Group. In a spirited defense of AP curricula. We know, however, that our work is all about complexity- the many kinds of minds in our class...
