Alternative Education Teacher Training - Part One - Foundations of Alternative Education

This week we undertake the beginning of a journey that will, we hope, inspire and help people who aren’t quite sure of what they are doing in their alternative classrooms/programs/schools.  In fact, most of those working in Alt Ed have minimal idea of what they’re doing - they’re just holding on to the hope they’re doing it correctly.  

 

There are many who are determined to uphold the idea that students need to be babysat and watched as if they were inmates when nothing could be further from the truth.   The alternative education classroom, school, and program should be a thriving, living, vital, and energetic learning center where students come to throw off their mantles of failure in order to grow, learn, and understand how to learn so they might go forward from our doors to the rest of the world and conquer and succeed.  

 

In fact, those who believe they hold dominion over students or others should be either trained or replaced as soon as possible.  

 

That being said, we begin this week on a journey that opens our minds and yours to what much of the foundation of Alt Ed is, as well as how it differs from traditional schooling.   There is so much to chew on that we had to break it into parts.
