Beyond the Education Machine (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780557576616)

Human beings are complex organisms and as such no one-size-fits-all educational approach will ever be truly effective for the majority of students. Many educational theorists have identified this cookie-cutter approach as the "factory model" of education. Business and manufacturing have developed more effective and flexible methods, but our schools have remained essentially static for over one hundred years. This factory model is the universal standard for what is considered traditional education in America, and is carried out with little regard for the ways humans, or individuals, learn. But we can change all this, with our kids and in our classrooms. Let's do it!
