Synopsis
Learning to How Real-World Learning Transforms Education builds on the ideas of the 2013 book, Leaving to Learn, showing how the principles, practices and recent programs of Big Picture Learning can help transform education. The book sets out how what is needed are not reforms but New Ways, New Forms and New Measures that have been applied to real-world learning inside and outside of school. The New Ways involve facilitating young people to be active out of school pursuing their interests with supportive adults and mentors. The book advocates for personal learning plans where the student is the curriculum and the community is the school. Emphasizing the centrality of Interests, Relationships and Practice, the New Ways include student-driven learning, advisors who oversee and guide learning rather than primarily teach prescribed content, family and community engagement, student internships, and authentic assessment. The New Forms are represented in new programs that BPL has developed enabling students in school and youth to explore their interests in the real world. These programs are the Harbor Freight Fellows Initiative for the skilled trades, Project InSight related to provoking interest in eye health and eye care, LA Leaves to Learn activating internships in the Los Angeles, and B-Unbound using proprietary technology to facilitate multigenerational networks of support around shared interests to foster youth agency, interests, relationships and search for meaning. The New Forms make the New Ways possible. The New Measures are BPLiving, 6 lifestyle medicine measures aimed at promoting health, the 311 Credential, an initiative to facilitate pathways in high school into the skilled trades, and the International Big Picture Learning Credential, a new school assessment providing for a broader range competencies to be credited and surpassing the more narrow and inequitable measures used in standardized assessments. A must-read for educators / policy-makers
