Foundation of 3Rs - Rigor, Relevance, Relationships

Dennis Littky is the founder of a Small school in Rhode Island that led to the "Big Picture" school movement.  This video shows the development of the 3Rs and parts of a speech by Bill Gates that cites these principles.

Five features of a Big Picture school:

• More exhibitions, fewer written tests
• Teachers teach several subjects
• Students learn through interests and passions
• Grades are given in a 2-page letter every 9 weeks
• School maintains a strong bond to former students
