Berliner’s Topics

The general failure to take the abstract and partial understandings of educational psychology and make them re-comprehensible to practical people is an unfortunate, unpleasant, and, I believe, a continuing part of our history .

Bruner …identified storytelling as one of two fundamentally different modes of human thought, standing in contrast to the analytic, linear way of thinking prevalent in logic, mathematics, and the sciences. …One has formal means to verify truth, the other establishes only verisimilitude; one seeks explications that are context fee and universal, and the other seeks explications that are context sensitive and particular.

Stories are powerful research tools. They provide us with a picture of real people in real situations, struggling with real problems. They banish the indifference often generated by samples, treatments, and faceless subjects. They invite us to speculate on what might have been changed and with what effect. And, of course, they remind us of our persistent fallibility

The Ascend School is one of several small schools that make up the East Oakland (CA) small schools initiative. The school serves a population of children who were failed by the traditional system. This video is one of many contained in the Edutopia website that document educational practices that work for children and youth who have experienced marginalized lives as learners in schools where educators have not known, not wanted to, or didn’t know how to make themselves ready for groups of children who have been historically underserved by traditional systems of education. Ascend uses a nationally recognized form of school organization call Expeditionary Learning. Expeditionary Learning appears in several locations on Luca’s Edutopia site.
