One way to think of the opportunity we have in our classrooms and school buildings through experiential education—beyond information,content, skills and understanding, this from Howard Zinn: “I have come to believe that our lives can be turned in a different direction, our minds adopt a different way of thinking, by some significant, though small event. That belief can be frightening, or exhilarating, depending on whether you just contemplate it or do something with it.”
What small events can your students experience to turn their life’s direction and adopt different ways of thinking?
