ALPS in Cambridge?
ALPS - ” Active Learning Practice for Schools is an electronic community dedicated to the improvement and advancement of educational instruction and practice. Our mission is to create an on-line collaborative environment between teachers and administrators from around the world with educational researchers, professors, and curriculum designers at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education and Project Zero. The ALPS site is as wide as it is deep. Each of the three regions within the ALPS site has it own resources for cultivating active learning practice in schools. But rest assured the ALPS site is unified in its educational philosophy and vision: that students must be active, engaged, and thoughtful participants in their own education. Each region offers a wealth of pedagogical terrain to explore.”
Addendum:
One of colleagues from Canada featured it on her Active Learning Blog Carnival http://activelearningcarnival.blogspot.com/ in April.

I think this is a great initiative and featured it on my Active Learning Blog Carnival http://activelearningcarnival.blogspot.com/ in April. Please consider putting a link to my carnival on the ALPS site.
