• W216543552 abstract "Teaching, not politics, is the art of the possible. Teachers are optimists for a living. We believe all students will learn. We believe ignorance is no match for education. We believe in our personal powers of persuasion and influence. The are of the teacher's universe is long, but it bends toward progress. We believe, in short, in Edutopia. And Edutopia believes in us. Let politicians and pundits speak darkly of the need to weed out bad teachers. Let them hold tests and accountability over our heads like the Sword of Damocles. In Edutopia, teachers rule. We are confident and inspiring. Enlightened administrators are courageous and brave. Grateful parents swoon, while bright, cheerful students meet their academic manifest destinies as their awesome teachers reject the discredited orthodoxies of industrial-age schooling in favor of hands-on projects and authentic, real-world tasks. In the bright light of Edutopia's soul it is always six o'clock in the morning, and you cannot wait to jump out of bed and get to school. More seductive than a fitness magazine on New Year's Day, Edutopia inspires me. Edutopia gets me. Edutopia sees the teacher I am capable of becoming--no, the teacher I will be--and it wants to help me. True, I haven't helped inner-city high-school students design and build a hybrid car that runs on fuel made from soybeans like that guy in Philadelphia. OK, I haven't nailed down donations to buy an old farm so my students can garden and read Thoreau in the bosom of nature like that teacher in Vermont. Hell, I haven't even found the time for that cool unit where my kids create digital avatars and use them to explore body issues. But I will. Yes, in fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Right after the tests are over. It's possible. Edutopia comes by its name honestly. Beyond aspirational, it is teacher porn. But here's the thing: it's serious. The George Lucas Educational Foundation, the 19-year-old organization that runs Edutopia, has given itself a mission to spread the word about ideal, interactive learning environments and enable others to adapt these successes locally. Its name notwithstanding, Edutopia does not see itself as peddling pie-eyed idealism. Many people in education were only dimly aware of Edutopia until early 2009, when the organization suddenly became more aggressive about promoting its vision and products. Driven by a ubiquitous underwriting campaign on National Public Radio (NPR), Edutopia claims 10,000 paid members and a total monthly audience of over 300,000 educators for its web site and videos, a 70 percent jump in the past year. Its six-year-old bimonthly magazine, Edutopia, reached 100,000 subscribers until the foundation decided to go online-only starting in the spring of 2010. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Its unabashed idealism and cheerful optimism make it impossible to dislike Edutopia, which bills itself somewhat grandly as Works in Public Education. What's harder to define is Edutopia's on-the-ground impact on America's classrooms and the efficacy of its unique, ultraprogressive ideas. Lucas's money has purchased an impressive collection of reported articles, videos, and web pages gathered on-site at schools across the country that practice at least bits of what Edutopia preaches. Still, foundation officials are hard-pressed to identify any school that has adopted its strategies as a whole. Thus a better Edutopia tagline might be, We Think Would Probably Work in Public If Schools Would Stop Being So Old-Fashioned and Just Try It. Plus George Lucas Thinks It's a Good Idea. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] That might not make a compelling NPR underwriting credit. But it would be more accurate. What Works in Public Education? For Edutopia, Works in Public Education boils down to six core principles: comprehensive assessment, integrated studies, project-based learning, social and emotional learning, teacher development, and technology integration (see sidebar). …" @default.
