Maria Lisa Polegatto June 2024  As a student in junior high and high school I would study by reading the materials over several times. Then I would ask my mom questions while she was in the kitchen cooking. She was always a great student to help me learn as we discussed the answers. I think I was practicing teaching while I was learning.

Maria Lisa Polegatto June 2024  “We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children” (O’Brien and Howard, 2020). Maria Lisa Polegatto June 2024  What is a living campus and living school? It is a place where “deep learning” happens when the entire school/campus/organization works together for the “well-being for all”, for “meaningful contact”, fundamental global growth, cultivating compassion of the “transformative mode of thinking” for “relationships and conversations (O’Brien, 2016) and flourishing on the “co-learning journey (O’Brien and Howard, 2020). This concept not only includes humans but also nature and species and their interconnectedness (O’Brien, 2016) instead of the narrow silo approach of traditional education (TEDxIowaCity, 2018).
Maria Lisa Polegatto June, 2024  Belfry, Gabarus Lake South, NS I resonate with Lyle (2023) in “Every seashell is a story: Re/humanizing education through lived and living Curriculum” and her use of poetic verse and time in nature to acquire and convey knowledge.
Without spending time in nature and learning its silent teachings, we can not recall what nature has to offer for our senses for better wellbeing and happiness, not to mention education. While I have sound machines to hear the rolling waves crashing on the shores when inside, it cannot replace within me the rest of the excitement of my senses to be in nature personally. |
