The School of Our Dreams Might Actually Exist - Education - GOOD | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
One public school in Boston is focused on building students' collaborative—rather than competitive—abilities.

Watch the video (~6 minutes) and learn about a school in the Boston area that might be called a "transformational school," a school where "students start their lessons without prodding fromtheir teachers..." 

They also speak talk about the Habits of Mind the use as a conceptual framework:

* Evidence - How do you know?
* Conjecture - What if things were different?
* Connections - What does it remind you of?
* Relevance - Is it important? Does it matter?
* Viewpoint - What would someone else say? How would someone else feel?

Watch and listen and ask yourself, would your school make this type of transition?
