Making It Up as We Go Along

The Story of the Albany Free School

by Chris Mercogliano

Selected as one of the 25 best education books of 1999, Making It Up As We Go Along recounts the founding, the philosophy and the evolution of the world's longest running independent inner-city free school.



Making It Up As We Go Along is the story of the Albany Free School, a school based on real freedom, real democracy, real community, and real affection between students and teachers. Here, for more than twenty-eighty years, Chris Mercogliano has taught a never-ending variety of children kids of all ages from every race and social class, from those with learning and behavioral problems to the so-called gifted. Thanks to this ongoing, radical experiment in education, the author has come to understand how important autonomy and authenticity are to the learning process.
