the Lead Out Method

educators want

Educators want students to emerge ready for real life — able to pursue their own interests and dreams.

Educators find it painful when students don't succeed — starting life as they do with our best hopes.

the problem

Many won't even look at proof, because for so long the system hasn't worked.

two educators proved

Two educators proved beautiful results but the secret was unknown.

Decades later, the Lead Out Method has the secret — available now for your classroom.

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.

Four steps to success

Schoolio offers The Gentle Lead Out Migration Service to help with every phase.

1. Start with volunteers: 20–30 elementary educators across 5–10 schools.
2. Acquire the theory. Skipping it dooms the implementation.
3. Begin with yourself — experience the Inner Educational Exercises
4. Start using the Two Columns of the Lead Out Method.

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
