What might regenerative practice look like in education? coconut-thinking.com/2023/05/09/wha…

Michelle Blanchet @Educatorslab tells @DrBenjaminFreud that our industry is about relationships and working with people. So how come we don't undergo training to do a better job of that? The training speaks to agility and the teaching of civics. bit.ly/3K4veTO

What would it take to respond to the planetary crisis with our collective imagination(s)?Brilliant conversation, and looking forward to the podcast 💚🌳🌈@DrBenjaminFreud @JoannaChoukeir @gringreen #RegenerativeFutures

Let’s Not Try to Save the World coconut-thinking.design/2023/04/01/let…

Very excited to share the world’s first discussion with young people about the importance of ‘Nature on the School Board’ 💚🌳🌈 natureontheschoolboard.com @DrBenjaminFreud @gringreen @CM_Hankin @JohnMcArts

Climbing out of our skin and considering our place in the ecosystem is a challenge, writes @DrBenjaminFreud. The Western tradition has defined our beginnings and ends, but there are other ways of "understanding" us in the universe. bit.ly/3kImU2w

Focusing on the principle of abundance with dyslexic students, Dean Bragonier asks @DrBenjaminFreud whether we not only have an obligation to the individual student but also to harness all the different modalities possible in student learning. bit.ly/3kKgU9m

@gringreen @FaithInNature @DrBenjaminFreud @Educatorslab Excellent piece, and something all schools should listen to.

Tom Rippen and Oliver Matkainen tell @DrBenjaminFreud that given the way SDGs are laid out, they become a prescription of responses to symptoms that prevent us from addressing the root causes of our global challenges. Listen to their solution. bit.ly/3lFRsBY

Putting Nature on Your School Board Inspired by the lead from @FaithInNature, @DrBenjaminFreud @Educatorslab, Charlotte Hankin & I are helping school heads connect learning to nature and thriving futures How might nature define an 'outstanding' school? k12digest.com/what-would-it-…

@EducationSlj @gringreen @AndrewGrantGA @GrantAssocs @BSUEnvHums @CM_Hankin @DrBenjaminFreud @houseimaginatn @EcoAvon @SchoolsCN @FACEclimate Shared enquiry with Nature on the School Board 💚🌈 @gringreen @DrBenjaminFreud

Today. @curtisogden shares with @DrBenjaminFreud that the only way out of being trapped in our own perspective is developing more relational trust and, in a sense, that is where genuine equity work begins. bit.ly/3DDolp6

Today, @DrBenjaminFreud asks us to stretch our brains to understand why agency is a relative concept rather than a personal quality. By doing so, our understanding of education, relationships, and why we exist shifts to a very exciting paradigm. bit.ly/3JBv7Q0

Agency is not to be owned; it is relational coconut-thinking.design/2023/02/02/age…

'Just as there is no barrier between humans and other beings, neither is there a strict hierarchy. Non-human entities do not exist merely to provide for the needs of man. Nor are they all-powerful gods who run the world as they wish.'

What if we were more than we thought we were? coconut-thinking.design/2023/01/23/wha…

Rena Upitis shares with @DrBenjaminFreud that we go wrong with kids by not paying attention to where that spark of motivation ignites and just letting them take the lead in designing their own next steps. A spectrum of pandemic reflections. bit.ly/3WqLh1a

Today, @DrBenjaminFreud and @Educatorslab write that creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication are not the destination; they are what we pack on our journey, and we have the power to draw up our own lists of what we need. bit.ly/3Xb1toH

Vlad Glaveanu tells @DrBenjaminFreud that we should not use assessment to know where we are in society. We should use how we live to inform how we assess, meaning in the service of human action and society, rather than the converse. bit.ly/3k8ReCB
