Roots: From Outward Bound to Expeditionary Learning

This anthology explores Expeditionary Learning's roots in the educational philosophy of Kurt Hahn. The founder of Outward Bound, Hahn started two schools and numerous educational initiatives. Through storytelling, scholarship, and first-person accounts, this book describes Hahn's schools, his view on service, chalenge, adventure, and the belief that students have more in them than they realize. Readers will note that many of Expeditionary Learning's design principles have their origin in Hahn's schools.
