As long as high school students have to travel to eight different classes where eight different teachers talk about grading / standards / learning in eight different ways, students will spend far too much trying to figure out the adults instead of figuring out the work.

Today is a signpost moment in your life. It is a moment to reflect on all you have done and to consider the path ahead. It is for us as well, as we watch you leave our walls. We have watched you grow up over the past four years. You came to us nervous, excited, with only one class above you, still eager to be part of creating a school. You had the energy that only 14 and 15 year olds can have... and the walls of the school bore the brunt of that energy. And we, along with your parents, watched you grow. Your advisors listened, begged, cajoled, threatened when necessary. They, and your parents and your teachers and I walked this walk with you, and we could not be more proud of all you have accomplished.

That it does not matter if you remember the specifics of which of King Lear’s daughters was the good one, or the exact details of the two-fer you wrote, but that you know that every text you read is a new way to view the world and that you can speak, write, dance, film, craft, create your voice so that your ideas can live in the world and by doing so, change the world.
And after you have forgotten the granular details of the periodic table of elements, continue to honor the scientific spirit of inquiry, always asking powerful questions and seeking out complex answers.
That is, we hope, what you have learned from us. That inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation and reflection are not just words in a mission statement but an iterative process of learning that can and will serve you the rest of your life if you let it. And perhaps above all else, remember that throughout that process, there are those in your life who have been there, who have cared about you, who have mentored you, and in doing so, hope that you will pay that forward. That you will care for those around you. That you will understand that the intersection of that ethic of care and that spirit of inquiry starts with asking the question, “What do you think?” caring about the answer, and then taking action.

Technology Can Realize Dewey's Dream

(I remember the times in my career as a student when they didn't. It was what made shop class so incredible. We were using the real tools... (even if I made what might be the worst birdhouse in history.)

My goal with this unit is to have my students examine where their food comes from, what it's made of, and its economic, political, health, and environmental impacts.
-
"Here's what I think you should know, how can you show me you know it?"
-
One of the first ideas the students came up with was to have a pot luck where everyone brings in a healthy meal. Someone else suggested we collect recipes for these dishes. I never would have thought of this. My ideas were definitely more boring.
-
We'll collaborate in feasting on a bunch of good food, and when we're done, we'll have a collaboratively produced cookbook for everyone to take home, and to share with the public.
-
The students have real ownership in this project.
-
Yes, there's a structure imposed on them, but within that structure there is plenty of room for exploration.
-
Most of our students have real opinions on these things, and if given the opportunity to help design their education, would probably take us up on it. All we have to do is ask.

Karl Fisch"I'm reading The Algebra Project: Civil Rights from Mississippi to the Algebra Project by Robert Moses and Charles Cobb. I'm only a little more than half-way through it, but it really has me thinking. Robert Moses was/is a Civil Rights activist, working to register voters in the Mississippi Delta in the early 1960s, and (I'm skipping quite a lot of time here) later in life, founded The Algebra Project - a project dedicated to helping black -- and other disempowered -- youth learn higher level math - specifically Algebra - in middle school. His theory is that math literacy is the key to both higher education and the ability to be a fully invested citizen in today's world. "
