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 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. Maria Lisa Polegatto June 2024 How do we practice positive sustainability for our individual wellbeing while at the same time focusing on human and environmental systems of sustainability? Spending time nature is a benefit for wellbeing, connecting and being sustainable.
Maria Lisa Polegatto May 2024 Nature is my happy place. From the moment I step outside into the fresh air, hear wildlife buzzing and chirping, see the clouds or clear blue sky, hear the water flowing in a brook or crashing on the ocean shore, in all seasons, it opens my view to the world of nature, and I feel more alive inside being outside.
Maria Lisa Polegatto May 2024 The fundamental goal of positive education is to promote flourishing or positive mental health within the school community (Moore, 2024). Maria Lisa Polegatto May 2024 Think back to all the things you did as a child that made you happy. Today, our world is changing and activities we did are different for youth. The 2024 World Happiness Report (WHR) suggests happiness in youth is in decline (Helliwell et al, 2024). We need to solve world issues, such as climate change, social, cultural, and educational issues, and yet we expect youth to be happy, have good well-being and practice sustainability.
Maria Lisa Polegatto May 2024 Follow Up to The Interconnectedness of Acorns, Ecosystems and HumanityMaria Lisa Polegatto - March 2024 Genius Hour Project: The Interconnectedness of Acorns, Ecosystems and Humanity Introduction. I am no genius but that is the benefit of a genius hour project to get us out of our mindset and into creativity. I love hiking with my dogs and the forest is one of our paths to resilience. Trees are but one of the commodities we rob from the earth for our own benefit without much thought toward the species it leaves homeless, including the loss of parent trees to tree communities.
Maria Lisa Polegatto - February 2024 I have a lot of passion about the topic of food. I grew up in the country, love being in nature and growing a garden has always provided me with a sense of freedom and connection to the earth. Food is not just tasty; it is an essential human requirement. However, it is also a global concern in the processes of production to consumption.
Maria Lisa Polegatto - February 2024 Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Education Entrepreneurial education is a familiar term to me; however, enterprise education is a term not so often heard. My first thought was what is the difference? Can I combine both? Would both make for a better entrepreneur? I need to find out more.
