Episode 31 - Talk America Adventures by Jerry Mintz

As a society, we've come to believe that learning can only happen within a traditional school environment. Sending your child to a public or private school for 12 years has become the status quo.  But what if, as individuals and collectives, we were to take education into our own hands? This is a concept known as a democratic school. A democratic school is a school where the students are trusted to take responsibility for their own lives and learning, and for the school community. Students have the ability to dictate their own learning journey and structure their education to suit their own personal preferences. Jerry Mintz has been a leading voice in the alternative school movement for over 30 years. In addition to his seventeen years as a public and independent alternative school principal and teacher, he has also helped found more than one hundred public and private alternative schools and organizations. He has lectured and consulted in more than twenty-five countries around the world.Let's keep the inspiring discussion going!

And what I mean by learner-centered, is a program that listens to what the students are interested in and build on their interest rather than curriculum-driven, which is an old model, which is just very, very antiquated. It had its purpose at some point, maybe. But this will help you become a lifelong learner." "If kids are natural learners, forcing them to learn things they're not interested in extinguishes their natural ability to learn." "Children are natural learners. If you know that they're the ones who are bringing the curriculum to you, all you have to do is be a good listener." "When you have not stopped kids' ability to learn, they learn at lightning speed. Unbelievable speed." Social Links: Jerry Mintz https://www.educationrevolution.org/store/jerrymintz/ Websites http://educationrevolution.org https://www.aeroconference.org/
