"Most of the day would be spent on creative projects, with kids working together across age groups. And the whole place would be suffused with a spirit of experimentation."

"The point here isn’t just to build a better school but to refine a model that other educators can build on—to change education across the country and the world."

"The experimentalism isn’t just a means to an end—an attempt to discover the perfect school. The experimentalism is the end. 'They’ve done a great job of building a culture that says, ‘We’re here to innovate, and if something isn’t working, it’s your job to say so.’'”

It's nice to hear such familiar sentiment from good ol' Sal.
Look forward to hearing what they learn at the Lab School.

The guy behind an online learning juggernaut has started a new school in Silicon Valley. Salman Khan is trying to reinvent the classroom. Again.

I've heard nothing but good things about Leslie who runs the workshop.

Hey Endorphins!

Interested in co-working at Open Space Asheville, but haven't been in? Endor Facilitator Rochelle Hudson will be at OSA (285 Haywood Road) every day next week (August 17-21) at 9 AM to offer a morning circle-up using Agile Learning Center practices to manage your work more effectively. We're looking to activate an intentional learning & work community at Open Space, and you're invited!

We'll start with a short introduction to Agile (for those who aren't familiar), after which we'll share our our intentions and requests of each other. For those coordinating personal or group projects, we'll introduce group and personal kanbans as work management tools. We'll also introduce a Community Mastery Board to process awarenesses, tensions, and opportunities to grow OSA community norms together.

And after? Come co-work with us!

If you want to read more about the tools we'll be using, see "Coordinating," "Declaring and Reflecting," and "Creating culture" through the link! http://agilelearningcenters.org/

Agile Learning Centers are a rapidly expanding network of schools leveraging open source agile tools to support self-directed learning.
