What’s happening in a person’s body and mind when their attention is fully given? Stanislas DeHaene, a celebrated French neuroscientist who studies learning in the brain, gives us an excellent perspective. Once we understand what we're working with, we're far better suited to support students, parents, teachers, and ourselves in a lifelong love of learning.
Juniper Heartwood
Education is changing. The one-size-fits-all approach that prevailed for more than a century is coming to a slow and leaky close. Today, due to technology and increased interest in community and nature, children and families now have access to diverse choices and wonderful new opportunities.
Joseph Sarosy is the author of How to Tell Stories to Children (now in 21 languages) and the creator of the Juniper School, an outdoor co-op serving learners in Northern New Mexico. An engineer with a second degree in philosophy, he and his students are but one small branch on a rapidly growing and increasingly well-funded network of independent educators, students, and families in urban and rural neighborhoods across the US.
This podcast is about empowerment. It explores what education looks and feels like when we stop fearing what a child might not learn, and instead begin to integrate that child's education and growth into life, family, culture, and neighborhood.
