Message: From GoLocalWorcester by Julia Steiny, GoLocalWorcester MINDSETTER™: Open since 2010, Greene Charter School in West Greenwich, RI, is one of a network of a large and growing network of "Expeditionary Learning" (EL) schools. "Expeditionary learning" sounds deliciously exotic, like maybe what Marco Polo was doing or Dr. Livingston on a scientific exploration of the African jungle—fact-gathering treks through terrain that require shots and exotic transportation. Heaven knows some students have a daily expedition riding Greene's bio-diesel buses from as far away as Westerly to the south, or super-urban Central Falls north of Providence. They arrive at the Greene campus out in Rhode Island's boonies after as much as an hour-and-a-half each way, but boast an attendance rate above state average. A donor gave the school the buses to support the Board's insistence on creating a diverse school available to urban students. (The current 9th grade class has 41 percent students eligible for subsidized lunch, up from the 12th grade's 9 percent. Word has gotten out.) http://www.golocalworcester.com/news/steiny-expeditionary-learning-journeying-through-compelling-content
