Parents sharing the process of searching for a school in Greater Philadelphia. What kind of school are you looking for? Charter, public, private, city, suburban?
There were a lot of talks at last years’ TedXPhilly that should be of interest to parents and others interested in education in Philadelphia. I posted a couple (Ted Hauger and Stanford Thompson) back in January, but the one I was most interested in seeing was Chris Lehmann’s. Lehmann is the Principal of Science Leadership Academy, avid twitterer and author of the blog Practical Theory. His talk was posted back in February, but I’m just getting around to sharing it today (sorry!). His talk describes a different approach to education. It’s worth watching and reading his blog post on giving the talk.
