Ed Week
Yesterday, part I of my conversation with Salman Khan, the founder of Khan Academy and author of the new book One World Schoolhouse: Education Reimagined went up. Today, our conversation continues:
You make an argument for a one-room schoolhouse idea that includes up to 100 students together with perhaps four to five teachers, where "active" and "owned" learning can happen. How do you see this concept differing—or meshing with—the type of learning that already goes on in various private schools around the world (such asMontessori, Waldorf, Summerhill in the U.K., and the Vittra schools in Sweden, to name a few) or public schools that rotate students to different teachers during the day within the United States?
