Summary

Launch a laboratory school for the Wikiversity assistant teacher program.

Proposal

A curriculum which acknowledges the social responsibilities of education must present situations where problems are relevant to the problems of living together, and where observation and information are calculated to develop social insight and interest.

—Democracy and Education, John Dewey

Motivation

The Wikiversity assistant teacher program needs verification and research.

Key Questions

• Should the school be a joint venture with a university or an institution contributing to secondary education (e.g. International Baccalaureate)?

Potential Costs

• Private schools can usually fund themselves. "Ersatzschulen" in Germany are primarily funded by the federal states they operate in.

References

• Madagascar’s ‘big sister’ programme helps girls stay in school (unicef.org)
• The Rights Respecting School Award (tagd.org.uk, Unicef UK)
• Curriculum symposium (Wikiversity)
