| The
University of Washington Bothell (UWB) Education
Program will host a talk by Maurice Holt, longtime
teacher, principal, professor emeritus, author
and educational consultant, Thursday, March
30, from 4:30 – 6 p.m. on the UW Bothell
campus. Dr. Holt will be presenting his concept
of “slow schools,” which he launched
in 2003, based on an analogy with the slow
food movement.
Holt has closely followed education trends
in both the U.S. and England. He believes
the slow schools approach is an opportunity
to capitalize on a powerful metaphor and
serve as an alternative to the narrow objectives
of standards-based education in both countries.
The slow schools’ approach follows
a broad curriculum that can offer all students
the scope and intensity of liberal education.
The presentation will be held in the UW
Bothell/Cascadia Community College library
in room LB1-205.
