We are educating our children to think of themselves as mere consumers rather than creators, to beware of the world rather than behold it, to think of themselves as isolated individuals rather than participants in communities and in the broader web of life.- .- Ted Richards

HOLISTIC EDUCATION - WHOLE HUMAN - WHOLE COMMUNITY |
Our world today is beset with seemingly disparate crises that range from climate change to economic and racial inequality to geopolitical upheaval. All of these problems—and their solutions—can be related to the core values that our children are taught in the common classroom - where they are also taught the values of independence, competition, isolation, and disconnection - problems that are at once global and intensely personal.
'
In this webinar, Dr. Richards will share his journey of reimagining education. He gives us new metaphors and models for our children’s classrooms so that they might grow in wisdom as well as knowledge and bring that consciousness to the world community they will soon join. We will learn how the classroom space can lead a child towards developing a planetary consciousness, discovering their depth, and allowing wildness and play to shape their souls.

DR. RICHARD"S LASTEST BOOK:
Reimagining the Classroom: Creating New Learning Spaces and Connecting with the World Theodore Richards' provocative book asks us to reconsider our basic assumptions about the world, our relationship to it, and our relationships with each other. It helps educators question and recast these assumptions and practices while reimagining educational spaces rooted in the notion that classrooms – and the stories we tell in them – are a metaphor for the world we hope to create.
