AVAILABLE FROM Human Scale Education, 96 Carlingcott, Nr Bath, BA2 8AW, UK (3.50 British pounds, plus 1 pound postage). E-mail: [email protected]. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Educational Environment; Educational Philosophy; *Educational Practices; Elementary Secondary Education; Environmental Education; Experiential Learning; Foreign Countries; *Nontraditional Education; *Parent Participation; *Participative Decision Making; *School Community RelationshiP; *Small Schools IDENTIFIERS Place Based Education; Sense of Community; United Kingdom ABSTRACT This report details findings from visits to 15 small schools associated with Human Scale Education. These schools are all different, reflecting the priorities of their founders. But there are features common to all of them--parental involvement, democratic processes, environmentally sustainable values, spiritual values, links with the local community, an emphasis in co-operation rather than competition, and mixed age learning. The characteristic that links them all is smallness, and it is their small size that makes possible the close relationships fundamental to good learning. By good learning, the schools mean learning in a holistic sense, encompassing the development of the creative, emotional, physical, moral, and intellectual potential of each person. Contact information, grade levels and number of students taught, and a brief history are given for each school. Educational philosophy, school-community relationships, educational practices, and grading systems are described, as well as the extent to which the national curriculum and SATs are used. Environmental education and activities, service learning, experiential activities, and exposure to the world of work are extensive.

  • CLAWTON CLARION February 2019
    CLAWTON CLARION February 2019 Welcome to the February 2019 edition of the Clawton Clarion. We are all still in the long dark days of winter, but St Valentine’s Day is a welcome celebration to look forward to in February. The encyclopaedia Britannica tells us that this holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February to herald the coming of Spring and fertility. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine's Day. It came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century through the writings of the poet Chaucer. We have started a new section of “Parish Notices” this month. Please send any good news, comments, birthday messages or welcomes to be included. This month’s puzzle is a Winter-themed wordsearch. If you would like this feature to continue, please e mail me some puzzles to be included. We are always looking for more people to help and participate in the events to keep Clawton the vibrant community that we know and love, and to maintain our village facilities. Don’t forget, the Clawton Clarion is about YOU and YOUR COMMUNITY. Please send any contributions for the next edition by 20th February 2019 [email protected] or call me, Judi Graham: 01409 271265 If you would like to receive the Clarion electronically, send me your e mail address.
