Categorical Alternatives: An Educational Criticism Study

In the writing of this paper, the design of which is based on Elliot Eisners Educational Criticism model, LEAVE-IN MIST both linguistic and non-linguistic description were used to encourage the interpretation and evaluation of a specific and unique alternative educational setting.Five years ago, Ellens Learning Annex, a multi-age, one-room school house, was just next door to the researcher, while her son was struggling at the public school a mile away.A day 10-inch spent observing Ellen and her students yielded data from which three general themes emerged: Heterogeneous age-grouping, place-based education, and sensory integration in a teaching and learning environment.
