Idaho's One Stone: Believing in the Power of Students

"One Stone set out to start a revolution… We are in the habit of disruption. We are unafraid. We believe. And together with our partners, we are forging an army of good, for good. We are the ones you have been waiting for." onestone.org 

In February the Inspired Learning Project team had the chance to meet with Chad Carlson - Director of Research and Design - at Idaho's One Stone. We left the conversation feeling inspired by a bold vision of learning that is fueled by a shared belief in the power of students. 

Some of the highlights of the conversation include: 

• Seeing what it’s like to live the design process as a community of learners.
  
• ​Learning about the story of One Stone - a private, tuition-free school that - self-professed - is “unlike anything in the nation”.
  
• Finding out how One Stone brings the idea of “real work that matters” to life in its learning experiences through the belief that students can make a difference in the world.
  
• Getting inspired by a vision that is a bold, confident, and unique statement of purpose: "We are in the habit of disruption. We are unafraid. We believe. And together with our partners, we are forging an army of good, for good. We are the ones you have been waiting for." ​
