Hey friends, I have a situation, that I'd love some input on. I recently started working in a school for at-risk youth, and so far, I've noticed that the single largest obstacle that the students face is a lack of motivation -- most students aren't any less intelligent than "normal" high schoolers, but for whatever reason (and actually, I blame conventional education for this, at least partially) most are pretty unenthusiastic about anything classroom-related.
I've used OST in the past to facilitate adult gatherings, and I'm thinking about using it with the students as well, as a way to allow them to study something that they're passionate about. With that in mind, I have a couple questions: does anyone here have experience using Open Space principles with at-risk youth? Is there anything I should be aware of, or changes I should make, based on the context? Thanks in advance! Peace, Patrick Maxwell
