This book, written by the parents, teachers, and students of a unique school, shows that children and adults do not learn in independent study or by passively being taught particular facts or concepts, but by participating within a community of learners. Within this community, learning is dynamic and bound up with the tools of culture and the structure and dictates of the classroom. This book is the first to report this new theoretical perspective in a manner accessible to both teachers and general readers.
