Here is a rundown of some ideas I would like to look at further for my Independent Study. My study will be an expansion of the original paper I presented, The Classroom as a Body without Organs.
- Philosophy of ELOB - Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound - schools. This philosophy is closely based on Kurt Hahn's learning principles
- Seattle schools to visit/volunteer - Thornton Creek Elementary, Giddens School
- Why might the classroom as a body without organs deter parents from accepting this philosophy for their own children?
- How can standards be met while teaching in this manner?
- What are the opposing viewpoints on Montessori?
- Look further into Deleuze and Guittari's philosophies and relate them to the classroom
Here is a link to the classroom expeditions at Thornton Creek Elementary. How rad is this??

Happy to hear you are including Expeditionary Learning as part of your study. We have a lot of great examples that go beyond the link you have, so feel free to contact me at tfelton at elschools.org.
