Adventures in Learning

A blog about Learning, about Education, about reform, about change, about what it means to teach. I am trying to ask the question "Why we educate" and what my answer means to me as a teacher and how my role shapes society and the whole.
humanscaleschools: (via Dancing Our Way Through Black History Month | The Garden Road School) This week, guest educator Belle Ritter (Miss Belle), took Garden Road students through a tour of Black History through dance, rhythm and music. She captivated the children (mixed ages 3-8) for an entire hour of high energy and fun; moving them through the ages of black history from its roots in African culture to the contemporary culture of today. The children had the opportunity to listen and touch some African percussion instruments and to really get them in the spirit, Belle brought some fun costumes for the children to try on. Our local community is teeming with incredibly talented artists like Belle. With our developing model of Community Supported Education (CSE), programs like this one allows local artists to share their natural genius and inspire the children through hands-on experiential learning. There is nothing like learning from someone who LOVES what they do. This is the kind of learning that can happen when a whole community is seen as learning environment and all the whole community is able to share their talents and wisdom with the children!
