Seven movements. What the desk was built for. What changed. The village as curriculum.
Framework Overview
The operational picture in one place. For educators, school founders, policymakers, and institutional partners.
Phase I
The primary programme in full — seven principles, how the day works, the systems, and what it produces.
Phase II
The secondary programme in full — three developmental phases, placements, the Mastery Record, and the Passage.
Inner Attention
Why every major human tradition has developed practices for training the inner attention — and why this capacity matters more than ever in an age of artificial intelligence.
Cultural Ecology
Place as Teacher has two dimensions. The first is ecological — the seasonal rhythms, the species, the soil. The second is human — the oral traditions, the built heritage, the contested histories layered into the landscape across centuries. This addendum addresses the second.
The Map, the Signal, and the Dispatch
A functional walkthrough of the three software systems at the heart of the methodology — for academics, coaches, and school founders.
AI, Alpha, and Beyond
A working paper on the role of AI in education — what Alpha Schools demonstrated, where ÆRA converges and diverges, what the current evidence supports, what it does not, and what the arrival of more capable AI systems may change.
The ÆRA Coach
The philosophical and economic case for a different kind of educator — and why inspiration is the only thing that works.
Your Child's Data
A plain account of what happens to children's data in most schools, why it matters, and the specific architectural choices ÆRA has made. Written for families, educators, and school founders.
Intellectual Heritage
The global knowledge ecosystem the framework draws from.
Methodology and Evidence Base
Every significant claim cited. The evidence base strong, emerging, and absent. For educators, researchers, policymakers, institutional partners, grant reviewers, and school founders.
Concerns Register
The legal, regulatory, methodological, and infrastructural challenges the framework faces — named clearly and updated as they resolve.
Literature Review
The full evidence base for the ÆRA framework. Written for researchers, policymakers, grant reviewers, and serious practitioners.
