Alfie Kohn 

Traditional Education and Its Victims: 

The Perils of Going 'Back to Basics’

Tuesday, May 03, 2011 

3:30 – 5:00 (plus an invitation to dinner)

At Friends School of Portland – Mackworth Island, Falmouth ME

This presentation by Alfie Kohn, author of 12 books about education and human behavior including “What to Look for In A Classrooom,”  “The Homework Myth” and the newly published “Feel Bad Education,” explains why the traditional "bunch o’ facts" model of instruction, with its emphasis on memorizing right answers and practicing skills, is virtually guaranteed to fail. Participants are invited to consider how teachers of all ages and all subjects can become more successful at helping students make sense of ideas for themselves -- and with each other.  Ample time will be provided for discussion, sharing ideas, and reflection.

A networking dinner will follow the workshop.
