We Can Do It! It is different and a basic right for ALL!
Education is a very mucky space with lots of passion, personal experience, political will all wrapped up. The bottomline is as a society we have expected that kids from nearly birth through at least 14 receive some formal education where they learn to read, write, think critically and do math. How this happens varies greatly. This collection of writings helps to capture my personal insights and beliefs formed in my 30 years of experience as an educator and 12 years experience as parent. Happy reading.
For a small, personal plug- I have started to have a play with Outschool.com and hosting my own courses for both kids and adults. Here is the link to my Outschool offerings for kids and reach out to learn more about my courses for adults. Feel free if there is something you are interested in that I can offer, I will.
Also I am launching a new Global-virtual secondary school program part of CTL Academy. Come join the revolution. Learn more here.
