Faark The Shoulds (& Alchemising Education)
Alchemising Education - When We Were Young
If we want to have an impact on our kids’ education and learning, whether that’s to tweak and support or to revolutionise their environment, we must also examine our own experiences (read: prejudices), when we were young.
What was our experience of learning?
How do we feel about it now, on reflection?
Were there memorable moments of either thrive or survive?
Were there experiences that have now meaningfully contributed to certain belief systems, habits & ideas, maybe enhancing or hindering modern day you?
