    Redefining Learning & Reinventing Education

    An Audio Documentary by Amber Woods & Amina Baird

    2-Disc Audio CD Set

    About the Documentary
    In March and April of 2006, we visited 23 free schools, community centers, after school programs, summer camps, skill shares, charter schools and private schools. We interviewed students, parents and teachers about their experiences with creating and sustaining radical learning spaces. We define this as non-compulsory, non-coercive physical spaces set up for various types of learning and projects. The documentary outlines a history of both conventional and radical education, explores peoples definitions of learning, highlights some interesting spaces as examples, identifies major themes common between spaces, and addresses the role of these spaces in the wider movement for social change.

    Project Summary
    As people inspired by various philosophies of radical education, we have related a project aimed at exploring the deschooling/radical education movement in the United States. Through conversations, interviews, field recording and other audio documentation we hope to illustrate this movement,and its overlapping, multi-faceted ideologies and manifestations, using living examples from a variety of progressive, alternative, radical, and free learning spaces. We hope to form this research into a cohesive, informative, creative, and accessible radio program for alternative/community/public radio with the following goals: 1) To support and legitimize the radical schooling movement.

    2) To inform a larger audience of the existing trends in radical schooling and show the potential for growth in this community movement (including a call to action).

    3) To investigate for our own future benefit, and the benefit of listeners and educators/deschoolers, what approaches to radical education (techniques, infrastructures, curriculums, and degree of structure (or lack thereof)) seem successful or unsuccessful.
