Ideas from Schools of the Future http://www.thelearningweb.net/schools-future.html  These 12 steps are developed in full, with excellent examples from around the world, in chapter 13 of //The Learning Revolution,// 1999's best-selling international book, by Gordon Dryden and Dr. Jeannette Vos. . It seems to us that any sensible vision should include these factors: . - Lifelong continual learning will be a fact of life for everyone. . - Inside that context, everyone should be encouraged to plan his or her own curriculum for life. . - While there is no one right way to teach or learn, there are many techniques to enable anyone to learn faster, better, smarter. And an open-minded search for new ideas is central to tomorrow's world, and central to tomorrow's schools. . - Every state or country also has different school-health relationships, administrative systems, teacher training programs. And, as in any other field, progress will often depend on the vision and drive of individual leaders: principals, teachers, parents, administrators and political leaders.
