Learn By Doing
Learn through engaging, fun and meaningful classes that work with all styles of learning (visual, tactile, musical, emotional etc.) and that stimulate the all of the senses (taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing, and spirit).
We utilize a variety of learning models:
- Art integration – activates the right-brain to create a deeper level of understanding.
- Inquiry-based learning – a series of questions are asked rather than giving a lecture
- Participatory – the students share their knowledge and experience through facilitated dialogue
- Experiential – immerse in nature, practice interpersonal skills, and learn hands-on techniques on the land
- Student-driven – based around the students’ goals and desires to learn specific topics
- Gamified – learn through interactive educational games
- Mindfulness – learn through mindful observation and connection with the environment through the senses
- Anti-oppressive – learn in the context of systems of power & privilege
- Online – learn in an accessible and engaging zoom classroom
