This space has been created for change makers. It was conceived for those who are called towards creating lasting positive impact within themselves, their community and the world.
With over 10 years of teaching experience, I have found that some of the most rewarding classes have involved students from different ages learning simultaneously, where knowledge is not stored away under the assumption that someone who is 9 “won’t get it”. This often keeps children contained within boundaires that limit their potential. When information is shared in a way that allows for different perspectives to shine through, learning becomes a navigational game of understanding and acceptance.
Being exposed to different age groups while learning about self increases moments of reflexivity; a vital component for our future leaders. When a 3rd grader teaches an 8th grader how to “make it stop raining forever” or how to “make a mine cart from scratch”, the art of teaching incites inter-generational teamwork. This way of learning develops skills that travel beyond the classroom. This is not regular school. However, there are principles behind attendance. The success of each class depends on each students willingness to share and reflect in an honest, accepting, and peaceful manner with respect to one’s identity.
