[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Burke not Field, but there are similarities. Progressive does not mean always hands on, they just mix it up a bit. So, for example, in middle school many writing assignments were personal responses but you still had to produce 1-2 pages of writing. Classes were a mix of lectures, discussions, simulations, and projects. [/quote]

Thanks, PP. So which schools, if any, stand out as being truly hands-on in their approaches to learning?[/quote]

Lab School.  Watch the video here (you can skip the first 2 minutes although it's only about 6 minutes long):

Mariale Hardiman is talking about teaching through the arts.  That does not mean teaching kids to be "artists" but teaching hands on--physical representation.

Diener is also very good about integrating the physical/kinetic learning, but Lab really stands out.

The Waldorf School is also very hands on--sewing, wood shop, art program.  I don't know how well they would be at integrating SN but if this is something you're interested in, it's worth a look.[/quote]
