| In a TAB classroom, students are not outside the decision making process central to the learning activities they engage in. |
One of the beautiful and most compelling things about TAB is the contingency that children are able to co-construct the curriculum. There is ample evidence that intentionality, creativity and independent thinking are
systematically driven out of children by curriculum focused on standardized test driven-accountability as students progress from Kindergarten to the upper grades. Looking at the bigger picture, the question becomes:
Do schools support children's independent thinking and entrepreneurial capacities? Unless you are a TAB art teacher or educator who provides regular autonomy or opportunities that support
learner-determined curriculum the
answer is no.
