Last week Sugata Mitra visited Acton Academy to lead two of his SOLES (Self Organized Learning Environments.) The Eagles loved their SOLES, though some wanted more “learn to do” action.

Founded by Laura and Jeff Sandefer, Acton was built as an answer to what is wrong with traditional schools today. The founders share a belief that given the freedom and time, students will inherently pick the right learning path.
