Why Are We Different?
Educational Solutions is different because we are pioneering a new movement in education. At the core of this movement are the findings generated by The Science of Education, the approach of Subordinating Teaching to Learning, and the teaching techniques and materials, which enable its application in the classroom.
The Science of Education
Dr. Caleb Gattegno proposed a bold new vision for education based on his insights that only awareness is educable in man. Gattegno envisioned that a Science of Education is possible and that the study of "awareness of awareness" be its focus. For nearly 50 years of his life he worked to elaborate, and make explicit this vision.
The Subordination of Teaching to Learning
Born out of Gattegno's work under the umbrella of The Science of Education, he furthur proposed an approach to teaching that does not interfere with learning processes. Gattegno often said, "I don't teach, I let them learn." He called this approach The Subordination of Teaching to Learning. When students work with our technologies, it has been shown that the learning of any subject is no longer a matter of ability, only of time.
The Teaching Techniques and Materials
Teaching techniques and materials are the technologies of The Science of Education. They are created out of a close interplay between theory, experiment, and practice in dozens of languages, with students of all ages and abilities working in various subjects. Our technologies and materials are unlike others, in the rigor by which they were developed, their appearance and use, and the spectacular results they enable.
