Systems And Tools Educational Philosophy by Jacob Walker
"A major current educational trend is the formation of standards for content areas. These have been created by teachers primarily to standardize what people will learn in an educational system. The Systems and Tools Educational Philosophy is an attempt to give some standardization and framework to how standards should be formed, and further, what content areas should be taught. It forms a "big picture" model to fit all the current content areas, and shows what is missing. By doing this, hopefully it will allow new educational systems to be formed that can do a better job of actually teaching topics that are important to their students and their students' future."

Quotes

Architecture
