It’s Monday, March 10th – From HPR2, it’s The Conversation
Over the last 100 years, many educational movements have come into the classroom. Now there’s another one: Humane Education. You might think that all education these days would be humane...but not as the co-founder of the small but growing national movement sees it. Zoe Weil, co-founder and president of the Institute for Humane Education, is in Hawaii this week. We talked with her before she left for her trip. With the many similarities between her Humane Education and other pedagogy, we asked her why the need to create a whole new movement.
