The Birchwood
Project
Mission
To provide parents and educators
with practical help about the application of current research and
historical
precedents surrounding K-8 general education, gifted education, and
character
development
Background
The Birchwood Project is a product of our 25 year experience and
research at Birchwood School. Here we have had the rare and invaluable
experience of having our own "lab school" environment pursuing the
components of outstanding elementary and middle school education.
Granted, a pursuit of this nature is never final; no one ever arrives
at all the right answers. Nevertheless, our work has rendered us
insights into good education, provided our students with measurable
academic and personal benefits. The Birchwood Project is our way of
sharing what we have learned and inviting others to join our quest to
provide children the best education possible.
Content
The
Birchwood Project is designed for parents who are interested in
learning more about child development (ages 3-15) and the components of
premier education. It provides an historical and research-based
perspective from which parents can make informed decisions. Currently,
the project consists of a
monthly essay reviewing and applying current research to
education and child development. These essays are included in
Birchwood's monthly newsletter and can be found on Chuck's blog at www.birchwoodschool.org/blog.
