Alternative Schooling and Student Engagement: Canadian Stories of Democracy within Bureaucracy By Prof. Nina Bascia, Esther Sokolov Fine, Malcolm LevinEnglish | PDF | 2017 | 286 Pages | ISBN : 3319542583 | 2.22 MB
This book explores the unique phenomenon of public alternative schools in Toronto, Canada and other large urban areas. Although schools of this kind have existed for more than a century, very little has been written about the alternative school movement. These alternatives focus more on child-centered instruction, give many students (and teachers) opportunities to organize the school differently, provide a greater voice for teachers, students, and parents, and engage students far more with experiential learning.
