School 2.0: Progressive Pedagogy and 21st Century Learning

Videos and slides(very well designed) of Chris Lehmann's presentation at NECC Summit. Original ideas, experiences, we all should continue talking about. Chris is the principal of the Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

How do we convince people that progressive pedagogy (integrating tech. or not) is not inconsistent with the goals of federal and state policy?

As for me, Progressive Pedagogy is a new concept, all teachers should participate. Try to understand it: "We teach kids, not subjects"

How important are Lehmann's ideas? Well, Wesley Fryer calls him "one of the most visionary school administrators in the United States."
