Thank you for the clarity, John Larmer.
I can't help feeling that in all the X - BLs we may be moving in opposite directions at the same time. While this diffent methodology does bring many of the desirable educational outcomes such as social engagement and problem solving at a human level, does the tyranny of the curriculum and its master, formal, public evaluation, make the metodology somewhat sterile?
Is it possible that in all our X-BLs we must ultimately deliver the curriculum which may well mean that our new units and projects will not be able to allow students and teacher to go beyond, to question, create and deliver solutions?
If the curriculum is constructed with the rationale of knowledge and skill acquacition which is coupled to a formal, public evaluation system designed to evaluate said knowledge and skills, can the X-BLs have any rationale or future?
Is it not the curriculum that must be revised in order to produce an education which can deliver the positives so well described by Larmer here and so many others elsewhere.
I am of course thinking of the national curriculum produced and projected by most countries in the world, in private as well as government instututions, some to a draconian degree.
