New-Trend-Schools

After reading- Global Achievement Gap (Chapter 6), I feel.... inadequate. Who am I to create superb ideas and inspire kids to learn and have them complete projects I would have gawked at as a student (and may or may not be gawking at now)? Clearly, this is coming from a person who has never had to create a lesson plan in her life and, obviously this is a challenge for me. However, I have decided lately that I like challenges and these teachers only serve as an inspiration for me to find ways to think outside the box. Every child learns in different ways; some find traditional schooling stimulating (otherwise, where would all these creative teachers come from?) and some thrive in these new-trend schools like the HTH. The ultimate goal would be to have these different types of schools available to every child so they can find what is right for them.
