Human Scale Education
Founded in 1985, Human Scale Education is an education reform movement that promotes the view that students learn best in small-scale settings where they are known as individuals. It focuses on state secondary schools and ways in which they can re-structure into small learning communities or adopt other kinds of human scale practices. It believes that human scale education is not an end in itself but makes possible a range of other benefits such as the opportunity for teachers properly to know the students they teach, the development of flexible and inclusive pedagogies and a sense of belonging among students to the schools they attend. Between 2006-2009 Human Scale Education, in partnership with the Gulbenkian Foundation, ran the Human Scale Schools project. Some 40 schools across England were funded to develop human scale initiatives. Other developments followed such as the publication of Occasional Papers and books, visits by teachers to human scale schools in the US and a series of commissioned programmes on Teachers TV. The organisation recently received a major grant from the Gulbenkian Foundation to enable it develop and expand its work.
