Comments on: The Initiative in Changing Times http://www.21learn.org/site/archive/the-initiative-in-changing-times/ The 21st Century Learning Initiative’s essential purpose is to facilitate the emergence of new approaches to learning that draw upon a range of insights into the human brain, the functioning of human societies, and learning as a community-wide activity.

What is most inspiring for all of us is to meet with these young people and to learn from them. With over 20 years in the education world, these are the best parent/student/teacher interviews I have ever experienced. Students choose many routes of learning and each one is individualized and relevant to their particular interests, passions, abilities and preferences. They own their learning and they teach us how it happens.
