Seed Talk TONIGHT: Kim Carter on the future of #learning

I first met Kim Carter a lifetime ago, not long after she opened a public school in New Hampshire that remains, to this day, one of the most innovative and life-affirming I’ve ever witnessed.

In response, I wrote about Kim and her school in my 2009 book, American Schools: The Art of Creating a Democratic Learning Community (you can read that chapter here) — and it’s true, Kim is a master of democratic processes, structures, and spirit. But since then, I’ve learned some of the myriad other deep wells of knowledge that this former librarian possesses — and TONIGHT, at 8pm EST, you’ll get to learn some of those things, too, when Kim joins us for what is sure to be a memorable Seed Talk.

How do we make learning more meaningful, and relevant, and real?

What does an environment of transformational learning actually look like — and require?

And what is the future actually waiting for us to do, today?

Join us tonight, via this link — and bring your questions, and your curiosity.

WHY DO WE STILL TREAT EDUCATION LIKE IT’S 1906?

Why do we still use a 19th-century invention— The Carnegie Unit—to determine if our kids are ready to graduate in 2019?

Also, what the heck is a Carnegie Unit?

The same way may not be the best way.
