I recently did a presentation for the Design School for Regenerating the Earth, an international group focused on bioregional regeneration of the natural world and our human communities. I described nine interconnected activites necessary for the full development of children's capacities. The subsequent discussion was heartwarming.

What I learned from my many years in the classroom is tragically at odds with our current educational reform movement and its reliance on a standardized curriculum with computerized assessments to determine the success of children, teachers and schools. . .Trust Children is my attempt to address this crisis foundationally by looking at children and how they learn in order to understand why so many of our current schools are failing. I also address what we must do instead to transform our public schools into places where all children and teachers can thrive, learn and develop the capacities and skills necessary to meet the tremendous challenges that will be facing them in the decades ahead.
