"Freedom is not to be achieved; liberation is not a thing to be gained. Freedom, or liberation, is that state of mind which is essential for the discovery of any truth, any reality, therefore it cannot be an ideal; it must exist right from the beginning. Without freedom at the beginning, there can be no moments of direct understanding, because all thinking is then limited, conditioned. If your mind is tethered to any conclusion, to any experience, to any form of knowledge or belief, it is not free; and such a mind cannot possibly perceive what is truth."  - K

 

Welcome to the last week of the 2011-2012 school year, a week full of ceremony as we honor students transitioning from one area of the school to another. Particular congratulations go to our seniors who will graduate on Wednesday, ready for college and the world!  Thursday is the last half day of school - please see below for important details on the End-of-the-Year Assembly and Potluck. Oak Grove families past and present are invited to the Family and Alumni Reunion on Saturday. Finally, to help you plan for the next school year, the 2012-2013 school calendar is now available on our website. Click here to view and download the calendar.

Re-envisioning Education, and the Craft of Teaching and Learning

Uncovering and questioning our assumptions about teaching and learning.
 
Starting with the questions that we grapple with in our daily lives as educators, the program builds on the insights participants come to from their own deep looking and shared inquiry during the program. We shift from seeking answers to finding key questions that transform the way we see (and respond to) our educational challenges.
