We’ve all been to school and most of us now have a lifetime’s worth of convictions and ideas about how we define a quality education. Starting in January 2020, School One in Providence will host a bi-monthly discussion group where topics such as quality teaching, different kinds of schools, education in other countries, policy issues like school choice, education in Rhode Island, and a host of related topics will be discussed. The group will be open to the public and beneficial to both professional educators and any member of the community who has a stake in how our children are taught.
The first discussion group, which will be about Amanda Ripley’s book The Smartest Kids in the World, will take place on Jan 27 from 6 – 7:30pm. Future books for discussion will include Educating Esme: Diary of a Teacher’s First Year by Esme Raji Codelia and How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Character by Paul Tough (May 2020).
