Dear Julie, thanks for your posting. You wrote > It's conceivable that >using OST with teachers may lead to them using OST in THEIR classrooms.
This is the part that intrigues me most. Yes, several have as I have, worked with teachers, with whole schools, with student body representatives, with professional teachers associations, with students at colleges and universities and I have worked with schools and parts of schools and institutions around schools and schools with their neighborhood and often schoolchildren (daycare, gradeschool, highschool) were part of this. It was all very rich and productive and had even sustained impact. And everytime the teachers ask what it would be like to use it in an ongoing elementary (or highschool) classroom. Knowing that the open space-organisation or structure is there in the classroom makes it clear that it can happen. For some reason, it has never been carried further than asking the question "shouldnt we try this in our day to day work in our classrooms (elementary etc. schools)?". Anyone out there who has been in touch with ost in regular, ongoing school-work at this level?
