5.0 out of 5 stars Envisioning a world without schools, October 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Creating Learning Communities (Paperback)

As this book says it is time to think outside the box. While most educators think that changes must be made in the education system they are stuck in the school/teach/educate syndrome. 'A Coalition for self learning' believes that social needs, brain research and new techniques and technologies demand a radically different learning system, and makes it possible. And, that is happening with the proliferation of homeschooling and the emergence of "cooperative community for life-long learning centers" that are forming the foundation for a radicaly different society.

Creating Learning Communities: Models, Resources, And New Ways Of Thinking About Teaching And Learning is a benchmark anthology of essays and insights representing a wealth of outstanding commentary from a variety of contributors on educational issues and innovations ranging from homeschooling and distance learning to autodidactics and learning clubs. An outstanding and highly recommended addition to academic and professional reference libraries, Creating Learning Communities can help educators and policy makers to develop true learning communities beyond the traditional borders of brick & motor buildings, conventional class room structures, or anachronistic curriculums.
