NEW OpEd—Creating A Culture Of Learning
Bravo to founding Guide and head of research, Dr Caleb Collier, for his OpEd—published recently at CultureFeed—which addresses a crucial pillar of our school, Learning to Live Together. Here’s a snippet and the full link is below…
“Rather than “rock the boat” and risk litigation, many schools will avoid meaningfully engaging students, parents, and the community in having discussions, learning from each other, and reflecting upon how their understandings of morality and virtue shape their views of the world...How might the relationships between schools and parents be strengthened through dialogue, especially around areas of greatest disagreement, and the whole community work together on a way forward? This is, in theory and practice, the democratic principle…It is true that care must be taken to ensure that all members of a society can fully and freely access its goods. This is all the more reason for community engagement around our approach to schooling: it is about who does and does not feel included in the current design of a school.”
