Learning Opportunity: Private Schools with Public Purpose | The Puzzle
It is a truth universally acknowledged among our client schools that strong relationships and thoughtful collaboration enhance learning. Schools from all corners of the country that serve various student types in various settings embrace this idea, and they strive to cultivate learners who work well together, who are open to and accepting of the perspectives and ideas of others, and who are committed to giving back to their respective communities. The importance of relationships transcends school models and student types, transcends location, and even transcends school type: private, public, or charter. When constituents from these various school types (that can sometimes feel, in the national dialogue, that they are at odds with one another) work together and learn from one another, all students can benefit. At CS&A, we have the privilege of working with over 1,500 private, independent, charter, and international schools across the country and worldwide.

INFOGRAPHIC: Designing Service | The Puzzle
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest trends in independent education, you’ve almost certainly heard about Design Thinking. Though originally born of the 1980’s “human-centered design” architecture movement, this concept has been readily applied to the business world and, more recently, to educational institutions. The application makes sense: design thinking is a means of problem-solving that focuses on innovation, collaboration, creativity, ethical decision-making, and—of course—optimism: all hallmarks of a 21st century education. In a climate where educators value creativity as much as analytical ability, it’s no surprise that design thinking has gained such traction. It seems that participating in service, too, is as much about the process as the end result. Service learning is an essential component of 21st Century education. Use this diagram, based on materials from d.school and Design Thinking for Educators, as you revamp service learning at your school.

The 7 Liberal Arts - Trivium, Quadrivium and Logical Fallacies
In medieval universities the Trivium combined with the Quadrivium comprised the seven liberal arts. This teaching method is based on a curriculum outlined by Plato. One of the key intentions behind applying the Trivium and the Quadrivium is to distinguish between reality and fiction. By training the mind how to think - instead of what to think - this method provides a teaching of the art and the science of the mind as well as the art of the science of matter. Tools of Knowing The Trivium and the Quadrivium are often presented in a Pythagorean triagle which represents the human way of knowing : Any observation enters our mind through the 5 senses. The Trivium method of thought The Trivium is the first half of the 7 Liberal Arts. Within the process of seeing, conceptualizing and speaking it is important to be aware that the created concept about how we think reality is, does not equate reality as it really is. The Scientific Method The Scientific Method is a common procedure used in science.
Next Generation Sustainability
Maura K. Adams The word “sustainability” gets thrown around a lot these days. Sometimes the focus is on “financial sustainability,” making sure we can pay the bills over the long run. Other times, we talk about “personal sustainability” — getting the rest and care we need to function at our best. But hundreds of colleges and corporations are using “sustainability” primarily to describe their efforts to create a world that sustains both human and ecological well-being. When schools genuinely commit to this latter definition of sustainability, they are aiming to both exemplify and create such a world. Doing so is no easy task, but it’s one we can’t afford to avoid — and one that is already embedded in our missions, whether we recognize it or not. While schools have long been committed to certain aspects of what we now know as sustainability — diversity programs, global education, community service, and others — the environmental component is relatively new.
