Is it possible to have a discourse between our senses and the natural world as we go about our education? This episode is a brief window into how the wind, and all of nature, informs learning and writing at the Juniper School.
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.
