By Alfie Kohn, NAIS Magazine, Spring 2008
In this widely cited essay, Alfie Kohn explores the principles that define progressive education—active learning, community, collaboration, intrinsic motivation, and deep understanding—while also examining why this powerful approach remains uncommon in schools today.
