Learning Not Schooling: Reimagining the Purpose of Education
examines how both the curiosity and the initiative of students in
their formative years can be stimulated by partnering local schools
with the world of adult work and professional expertise. This
tactic addresses some of the issues that seem to continually plague
us, such as how to help students learn more effectively in the
modern age, or how to more fully address some of the perpetual
inequities between different socioeconomic groupings. Drawing on
his experiences from founding and directing a private school for
students age six to fourteen, Lyn Lesch presents a new model for
education in which learning for students increasingly occurs in the
world of adult expertise, with classroom teachers taking on the
role of conduits that not only prepare students to learn from
professionals working in various fields but also assist them in
absorbing the advanced information and knowledge they will be
acquiring.
