A new public school system
Parents, educators, school boards, superintendents:
a new school system — proven decades ago:
the Lead Out Method
educators heroic, the reason
Educators heroic, the reason
Knowing the system doesn’t work
– they show up for students every day.
Educators want students to emerge ready for real life.
Educators find student failure painful — as they start with our best hopes.
the challenge, of course
The challenge, of course
One educator. Students are all different.
In the way – your belief
A good system is impossible.
a whole lot of hope
A whole lot of hope
Two educators proved beautiful results
but the secret was unknown.
Decades later, the Lead Out Method has the secret.
Eva Fugitt
Educator and author, c. 1977.
Took a class of 5th graders — 95% African-American, reading below 3rd-grade level — to, on average, a 6th-grade reading level.
Two of the children were discovered to be gifted.
Parents said things like, “What’s this about goals? Tacelia does her homework as soon as she gets home. She says she’s winning her goal.”
Marva Collins
Founder of Westside Preparatory School, c. 1979.
Took students statistically at risk of murder, imprisonment, and welfare to thriving as adults — working, studying to be attorneys, starting businesses and non-profits.
In elementary they read Shakespeare, Chaucer, Tolstoy, Emerson, and discussed them with care.
key to the secret
The key to the secret — is the problem to choose.
School districts (today) fail
by focusing on an impossible problem — the wrong problem:
How to get students to learn at the same pace?
Ms Fugitt & Ms Collins succeeded
by solving a beautiful problem — the right problem:
How to get inside what students need to succeed?
- The wise part within
- The skill-of-the-will
- Wellness, not stress
- Hope
you as the educator
With you as the educator, using the secret
Students sit up, pay attention, take notes, ask questions.
Students break out of same-pace learning using their new independent abilities.
This is a big deal.
With just one educator, the-many students can learn in their own zones (for parts of the day).

Four steps to success
Schoolio offers The Gentle Lead Out Migration Service to help with every phase.
- Acquire the theory. Skipping it dooms implementation.
- Begin with yourself — experience the Inner Educational Exercises
- Start using the Two Columns of the Lead Out Method
- As students become more independent – allow them the freedom they need to learn and help each other learn in their own learning zones.
your classroom, succeeding
The Two Columns of The Lead Out Method
Column 1 — Educating
Inner Educational Exercises
Using Inner Educational Exercises, students get inside what they need to succeed — the wise part within, the skill-of-the-will, wellness, and hope.
Column 2 — Learning
Students apply themselves with a will
Failing cheerfully
Persisting curiously
Students start breaking out of same-pace learning — as their independent abilities grow.
choosing failure
Choosing today's system is choosing failure.
Students come to see themselves as failures when in fact the system is failing them.
Instead of succeeding, too many students:
- "goof off"
- have short attention
- carry stress, even trauma
- give up too easily
you now have a new choice – choose it.
