Ilé iwé Nmuta (Nmuta's School)

The word "ilé ikàwé" means literally "house of readers", and is often used in the Yoruba language to be the word for school. I am not Yoruba. But I like the word. In Nigeria one of the first sentences I learned was "mon'lo si'lé ikàwé .... "I'm going to school". This was over 15 years ago and I think this phrase is still true. I consider myself a life long learner.

This blog is specifically dedicated to chronicle my experiences helping to build urban, project based learning schools in United States. I will be posting my experiences, strategies, techniques, and projects here.
