What size should student classes and faculty groups be within schools? Join us for a lively discussion on “Dunbar’s Number” and our thoughts as it relates to independent schools.

In a 1993 study, Robin Dunbar, a British anthropologist, theorized that humans could have no more than 150 meaningful relationships, a measure that became known as “Dunbar’s Number.”

Do Dunbar’s number and research on social brain theory apply to the structuring of independent schools? Join ISM Consultant Andrew Taylor, Ed.D., and ISM Consultant and Director of Faculty and Curriculum, Josh Nelson, Ph.D., as they discuss this theory as it relates to school size and depth of relationships.
