I’d love to hear from Montessorium/ Higher Ground Education. I have been following some of what they post online with great interest. I’ve also talked to Simone Collins a bit about The Collins’ Institute a while back and saw that Malcolm Collins spoke at the most recent Great Rethink in Education conference that Montessorium and Joe Connor put on.
I’ll also add that probably more people are focused on innovation in pedagogy than you may believe. Some of them end up fighting for clear, systematic explicit instruction in phonics which doesn’t feel very innovative because it’s an old, effective idea that was crowded out by some newer bad ideas. There are similar battles in mathematics pedagogy, music pedagogy, and more.
That said, we seem to agree there is need for more focus. And perhaps we agree that there needs to be more radical innovation.
