Founder Samuel Levin, a high school junior who had already achieved international fame for creating Project Sprout-the first farm-to-school lunch program in the United States-was frustrated with his own education and saw disaffection among his peers. In response, he lobbied for and created a new school based on a few simple ideas about what kids need from their high school experience. The school succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations and went on to be featured in Newsweek, NPR, and the Washington Post. Since its beginnings in 2010, the Independent Project serves as a national model for inspiring student engagement. In creating his school, Samuel collaborated with Susan Engel, the noted developmental psychologist, educator, and author-and Samuel's mother. A School of Our Own is their account of their life-changing year in education, a book that combines poignant stories, educational theory, and practical how-to advice for building new, more engaging educational environments for our children"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aStudent participation in curriculum planning$zMassachusetts$zGreat Barrington 606 $aStudent participation in administration$zMassachusetts$zGreat Barrington 606 $aEducational change$zMassachusetts$zGreat Barrington 606 $aEDUCATION / Educational Policy & Reform / General$2bisacsh 606 $aEDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / General$2bisacsh 615 0$aStudent participation in curriculum planning 615 0$aStudent participation in administration 615 0$aEducational change 615 7$aEDUCATION / Educational Policy & Reform / General. 615 7$aEDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / General. 676 $a370.97441 686 $aEDU034000$aEDU029000$2bisacsh 700 $aLevin$b Samuel$0196287 702 $aEngel$b Susan L.$f1959- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136653603321 996 $aA school of our own$92888848 997 $aUNINA
