In a time of testing and one-size-fits-all standards, comes the success story of Wildlands, a school in the Wisconsin woods where just about everything is different. From its project-based, science-focused curriculum driven by the students themselves to school policies that amount to "just be a decent human being," Wildlands breaks the mold while producing students who are successful in school, in the field, in college, in life. In this compelling narrative, educators Paul Tweed and Liz Seubert share how a vision that began in a school bus turned mobile lab became a public charter school, and how their "Seven Essentials" have led to engaged students, pleased parents, and a trusting Board that empowers this teacher-led learning community. The perfect book for educators interested in how innovative teaching and learning really CAN work—and everybody who understands that true learning is far more than test results.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Book about Project Based Learning! By Victoria A Guse This is an excellent book about the success of PBL charter school. No one is the same so,we need to start treating our children like people. Letting them learn in a way that will make them into responsible adults seems like the best way possible. Hats off to these wonderful teachers who are pilgrims on a journey and aren't taking it lightly!
