You’ve got to let the students run the school.
Blair Sheppard
The daily affairs of Sudbury Valley school are managed by the weekly school meeting, at which
each student and staff member has one vote.
Rules of behavior, use of facilities, expenditures, staff hiring, and all the routines of running an institution are determined by debate and vote at the school meeting.

Finnish educators asked 3-6 years old children to take photos of the places they hated and the places they loved.
The kids loved all the things that related to games and being physically active; places where they can hide. They hated rooms that are for calming down.

Question # 2
What if education is more personalizedthan standardized?
We actually find that our students personalize their education much more than it might seem. They quite selectively access specific content and quite selectively do background readings.

Education is standardized.
Ways of standardizing
Subjects.
Classes.
45-minute time slots.
Education is personalized.
Ways of personalizing
Choice of what to learn.
Choice of where to learn.
Choice of when to learn.
Adapted fromLars Kolind: The Second Cycle, p. 155-156.
Study shows that students given one-on-one attention reliably perform two standard
deviations better than their peers who stay in a regular classroom.

We need to enhance every child's
strengths - not fix their deficits.

Question # 4
What if education is done in any place rather than
at a fixed place?
Places where learning might happen
Where people live, Where people work, and/or Where people have a cup of coffee or tea. On a variety of different social media.
Adapted fromhttp://www.theawl.com/2013/02/how-to-save-collegehttp://www.slideshare.net/moravec/toward-society-30-a-new-paradigm-for-21st-century-education-presentation
Model # 1The teaching factory
Model # 2The learning environment
There is a fixed place of education. The lecture hall / classroom are the primary physical environments for teaching.
Learning takes place in a variety of different environments.
To what extent is a school building needed?
Adapted fromLars Kolind: The Second Cycle, p. 155-156.
Question # 5
What if teachers ask more questions than talking?
Lectures originate from the Middle Ages when only 1 person had a book, and the rest could not read.
Richard David Prechthttp://youtu.be/Gewb3-DUlJs37:45
Results of a wide range of studies show that lectures are ineffective for1. changing attitudes or values,2. inspiring interest in a subject,3. teaching behavioural skills.

Question # 6
What if students are trusted more than
they are controlled?
1. Tests are timed, so students get nervous. 2. The point with tests is to make no mistakes
– not learn from mistakes.3. The results are neither used by students,
nor by teachers.

Question # 8
What if there wereno grades?
Alfie Kohn: The more you reward students for doing something, the more they tend to lose interest

Question # 9
What if there wereno degrees or diplomas?
We recently hired two people and we didn’t even know what their degrees were, if they even had degrees.
We hired them because of the work they did on the computer science platform on Khan Academy.

More and more people are being hired on their
work samples, on the projects they’ve
done, the type of portfolios they’ve developed.

Imagine a world where higher education doesn't end with a diploma, but starts at
18 and continues through life, as
the world changes around us.

Question # 10
What if learning was product oriented?
Yong Zhao
We need to engage students in
making things – making
books, movies etc. and using all kinds of technologies / media in that process.

The transcript coming out of an engineering school should be the things that you have created along with some feedback from professors and peers.

Drop all rules and regulations that prevent you from creating tomorrow’s
learning environment.
