In the article "Why I Believe We Need to Redesign Schools Around Decision-Making," author Nikita Khetan argues for a fundamental shift in educational design. The piece emphasizes that schools should not merely serve as venues for passive learning but should actively engage students in decision-making processes about their education. Khetan shares personal experiences and insights from her role as a founding educator at Red Bridge, a K-8 school that prioritizes student agency. Key features of this approach include project-based learning, self-directed learning blocks, and a curriculum that encourages students to ask critical questions about their learning. This model aims to foster independence, responsibility, and a deeper understanding of personal interests among students, ultimately preparing them for lifelong success.
