A growing number of parents and teachers are
looking for new ways to educate children - ways that will inspire,
motivate and involve each and every child. Concerns about mainstream
schooling - the requirement on schools to teach the National Curriculum,
the emphasis on testing and the continuing existence of large
classes - are leading many to question whether there might be
better ways to prepare children for life in contemporary society.
Furthermore, questions about the extent to which education is
equipping children to play their part in creating a fairer and
more environmentally sustainable world, are increasingly being
asked. Such concerns are fuelling demand for approaches to learning
which are more relevant to children's lives, taking account of
their educational and developmental needs.
