  •  
    A small, independent K-6 school in Massachusetts focuses on collaborative learning with students working at group tables rather than desks, and teachers acting as facilitators rather than lecturers. There is no homework at Anova, the Massachusetts School for Science, Creativity and Leadership, where there are rules against repetition and busywork.

Brain Calisthenics Help Break Down Abstract Ideas, Researchers Say - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • For years school curriculums have emphasized top-down instruction, especially for topics like math and science.
