Small Schools - Big Future


WELCOME TO HUMAN SCALE EDUCATION

Education Because People Matter

 

Human Scale Education is an education reform movement committed to small scale learning communities based on the values of democracy, fairness and respect.

HSE works directly with schools and parents to promote human scale learning environments where children and young people are known and valued as individuals.

                   SECONDARY SCHOOLS PROJECT:

                           HUMAN SCALE SCHOOLS

The Human Scale Schools Project is a ground breaking initiative originated in collaboration with the Gulbenkian Foundation to support up to 50 large secondary schools develop Human Scale Principles and Practices.

 

The Teachers TV film of the HSS Project can be downloaded from the website www.teachers.tv/video/20883 (Small by Design) and www.teachers.tv/video/21042 (Small School In the Big Apple). (If you experience any problems with the above links, please input manually).
