Book Club - Loving Learning 

Join our learning community for an a.m./p.m. conversation about topics relevant to education today. September's book selection, Loving Learning, describes progressive education within both historical and modern contexts through a tour of schools across the nation highlighting the myriad of ways progressive education is serving today's students.

Book Details

The High Meadows Center for Progressive Learning is the connecting point between the global shifts in education, how communities are advocating for better learning models for their children, and the sought-after learning experience High Meadows offers its diverse student body. Our book clubs are designed as relationship-building experiences that bring people together in conversation about what's relevant in education today. Texts are carefully chosen to represent the best ideas in progressive learning. 

"The longtime head of Park Day School, Tom Little embarked on a tour of 43 progressive schools across the country. In this book, his life’s work, he interweaves his teaching experience, the knowledge he gleaned from his trip, and the history of Progressive Education. As Little and Katherine Ellison reveal, these educators and schools invigorate learning and promote inquisitiveness by allowing the curriculum to grow organically out of children’s questions—whether they lead to studying the senses, working on a farm, or re-creating a desert ecosystem in the classroom."
