"The assumption in a lot of schools today is that ideas have already been formed and what you need to do is learn them and regurgitate them," says Hae-Sin Kim, principal of the innovative K-8 school ASCEND, based in inner-city Oakland, CA. "What [most schools] don't teach is, 'How do you form your own ideas? How do you create your own knowledge? How do you merge your own ideas and the ideas that are already out there to create even more powerful ideas?'" Read how educators and parents pulled together to support a program based on the principles of expeditionary learning. (George Lucas Educational Foundation) Citation: Furger, R. (2003).
