9. Could there actually be one “C” to rule them all?! | Connected Principals

   What does offering more control to student learners look like? Below I provide some examples – patches to a quilt of sorts. My examples are by no means exhaustive. But I think seeing examples helps.

   • Students being more in control lies at the heart of Dewey – “learning by doing.” On such a foundation, the progressive education movement grew. The posts coming from Tom Little (@ParkDayTom) provide numerous exemplars.
   • Caine’s Arcade
   • Gever Tully’s Tinkering School and Brightworks School
   • MVPS 1st Graders designing and prototyping better bus stops (here, here, and here)
   • King’s Ridge Christian School – 5th graders control full operations of Tiger TV
   • Trinity students design and prototype better running gear for a faculty member
   • Hacker Scouts and Hackschooling
   • Katie Salen of Parsons, Institute of Play, and Quest to Learn (Gaming School)
   • Design thinking to create solutions instead of waiting for a knight on a white horse
   • Any of the examples from Suzie Boss’ book, Bringing Innovation to Schools
   • The Independent Project
   • Triangle Learning Community
   • Imagining Learning, listening sessions, and student voice
   • NuVu Studio at Beaver Country Day School
   • Brittany Wenger and cancer detection
   • Emily Pilloton and Project H
   • Connie Yowell and Interest Education
   • Geoff Mulgan and the Studio School
   • Maplewood Richmond Heights Middle School - School as Expedition
   • John Hunter and the World Peace Game
   • The Nueva School iLab
   • Riverside School
   • Leadership + Design Summer for Educators
   • Solving America’s Innovation Crisis
   • Sugata Mitra and Hole in the Wall
   • Khan Academy Projects could inspire some ideas for learner exploration
   • Student Experience Lab at Business Innovation Factory
   • The Case for Curiosity
   • Beau Lotto + Amy O’Toole: Science is for everyone, kids included

    A day just opened up next week for teaching, so after our vocabulary quiz, we’re going to fill in these literary character Facebook profiles for a character from one of the stories we’ve read this year. 

    Feel free to use this. You could also use it for a person from history/science.
