OCCUPY EDUCATION - 5 minutes ago
- Ive seen locked doors open due to my education - I want to see money equally distributed to ALL schools, no matter that location of the institution or the race of the student body. - innovatively injecting education into the minds of the youth will cripple “the cycle” - We live in a society where operating without one is extremely dangerous - I want my kids and all their friends to be contributing members of society - Ignorance is not bliss, more like poison. - If we all occupied education”their” efforts in oppressing us would be a lot more strenuous on their behalf.

OCCUPY EDUCATION - 2 weeks ago
I am a big picture visionary person, and one who strives to make this world a better place.I see education as a place to foster learning about the world, and about relationships. The corporate influence in the educational environment via the testing companies, have made it increasingly difficult for teachers to be creative, and to allow for children to discover their passions and to work cooperatively together. The public school system is yet another environment that divides us. We must transform this system if we are to prepare the younger generations for the challenges we face... more »

OCCUPY EDUCATION - 3 weeks ago
Occupy Education: School should be a time and place for students to discover and become themselves. At the same time, they should learn to become contributing members of something bigger than themselves: A classroom community, a group of friends, a family, a neighborhood, a polis. As educators, therefore we must aspire toward building classroom communities around this ideal: where each person is encouraged to grow and thrive in harmony with others. See my blog post: Part I — “Education is political”: The people and the * polis* .

OCCUPY EDUCATION - 3 weeks ago
I occupy education because: - The big picture is being shattered into smaller and smaller pieces. - We need less competition and more cooperation—now more than ever. - The labels we assign to students (and other people) become our blinders. - Learning “disabilities” may actually be wonderful gifts. - We become less human the more we allow ourselves to be measured, tracked, and reduced to bits of data. - Teachers and students are not robots. - Imagination—not productivity—is the engine of human progress. - “Normal” is a myth. Diversity is the truth. ... more »

I Occupy Education by helping visual thinkers learn important skills and express their own profound stories through Video Storytelling. Video Storytelling is a powerfully effective, research-validated teaching tool which engages the students, communicates in a visual language, and creates movies in which the student is the star. Parents or educators can film the students acting out a social or educational concept, with support as needed. Then we edit out the prompting. As the students see themselves in the movie doing & saying something new, independently & successfully, the ... more »

OCCUPY EDUCATION - 4 weeks ago
I occupy education by running a program that makes it possible for students of all abilities and learning styles to learn about computing and technology, the arts, and more, that supports students in their pursuit of postsecondary education and careers of choice, and that is encouraging other schools to say “you can” to students, instead of “you can’t do that because you are a special education student”
