These alternatives focus more on child-centered instruction, give many students (and teachers) opportunities to organize the school differently, provide a greater voice for teachers, students, and parents, and engage students far more with experiential learning. When traditional school structures are failing to meet the needs of many children and youth, there is a rapidly growing need for information and discussion about alternatives that will encourage their talents and serve their needs. This book draws attention to the issue of alternative schooling to help make it more accessible to a wider audience. .Curriculums (Courses of study)EducationCurriculaSchool management and organizationSchool administrationEducational policyEducation and stateEducationHistoryCurriculum Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O15000Administration, Organization and Leadershiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O17000Educational Policy and Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000History of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O44000Curriculums (Courses of study).EducationCurricula.School management and organization.School administration.Educational policy.Education and state.EducationHistory.Curriculum Studies.Administration, Organization and Leadership.Educational Policy and Politics.History of Education.371.04095Bascia Ninaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFine Esther Sokolovedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLevin Malcolmedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255131903321Alternative Schooling and Student Engagement2494867UNINA
