My world on the web
That’s not earth-shatteringly different than what can exist, but it is cost prohibitive with class sizes and staffing needs. The driving forces are:
1. Students having autonomy, choice, and support to do big projects and follow their passions.
2. Educators having time to collaborate and work with students beyond course content and a fully ‘blocked’ and timetabled schedule.
3. A sense of community support, student leadership, and a focus on meeting the learning needs of students.

This has me looking back at a post I wrote years ago about my edudream. Thinking about it now, I think that if I were to start a school I would start by building a vision with the staff and community. I feel that this has been what Greg Miller has done with his school.
I have been wondering lately, as I read Paul Browning’s book on trust, how we create the right environment for such work.
