"A major limitation of most classroom innovations is that they do not require or motivate teachers or students to go beyond the classroom walls to make instruction work."

This totally reminds me of regular high school instruction all they think about is TASKS and that is all they teach they they don't any thing but the book.
I also attended SCITECH which has very different teaching style and very effective for those that are will to learn. Naturally, teachers there connected their teachings to real world situations and understanding to create a more effective way of learning. TASKs never even came up at all it was never talked about as if it never existed. They were actually teaching therefore students learned the material sub-consciencely as if students actually came to school to learn instead of coming because they have to pass a test to get a diploma.
