Progressive Education

What is "progressive education"???  Glad you asked!!!! 

At Metanoia, here's some basics of what we believe: 

• Learning is an essential lifelong process, not to be confined to a classroom.

• All individuals are both teachers and students. We can ALL learn from one another. 

• We all learn, reason, and communicate in different ways. Those differences should celebrated, not shunned.

• Students should be owners of their education and active participants in their learning.

• Teachers are facilitators of activities and guides to the learning process, not the primary source of information and authority.

• Parents are a child's first and most important teachers and should be actively involved in the education process.

• Knowledge is constructed across disciplines through play, experience, and interactions with the world.

• Problem-solving, critical thinking, and effective written and verbal communication are more important than the accumulation of any set of facts.

• Success is measured not by an external assessment tool, but by a student's individual progress towards his or her own goals.
