Jen and I have been excited about staring an ALC, and we’re both extremely comfortable with the technology and thought process behind the tools that are used daily in ALC’s, but we felt like it would be […]

Jason wrote a new post, What did I do this month? – February 2016, on the site Jason Gager's Agile Blog 4 years, 6 months ago

As I look back on February, the theme for this month’s work was “restart.”

  Hi Liam,
  
  I’m definitely planning on talking about that, possibly in part two, or more likely, part three. The short response is that it combines a framework that we already wanted (un-schooling) with concepts of intentional learning that parents can better understand when described, and tools that I am extremely familiar with (Agile processes, Kanban, stand-up meetings, etc.), and removed the pieces of the Sudbury model that I was willing to put up with in order to get the type of school we wanted (I uncomfortable with the importance of due process, which I’ve always felt leads to entrenched opinions and inflexibility).
  
  That’s it in a nutshell.
