SHOWCASE Leadership team
The group call SHOWCASE is offered to families that are interested in alternative education, education renewal or reform.
This is a private learning pod connecting children with other home learners. Adult co-hosts are on rotation. Children develop their leadership and facilitation by being in community with a skilled facilitator, modeling skills such as time management, collaboration, Placement for cohorts and meeting time is covered in the intake meeting.
The format is simple for the meeting. Kids will sign on, and a skilled educational facilitator will do a check in and introduction, centering the group and creating a space to listen respectfully to one another. Next we will show any art, discoveries, book work, projects, and plans that the children may want to show off. This creates intrinsic motivation to do their home learning projects by having a place to share them with peers. In closing, we have a topic of choice each week to discuss and leave us with “Food for Thought” for the next call, oriented to the seasons, interests of the group, or other emergent topics. In addition to the children's group, there will be an email list and optional telegram group for parents to connect to one another and share their experiences too. Then your child is off to explore for another week with the encouragement of community support from their group.
Your child can tune in weekly with others in their age group from around the world. They get to show off what they have been doing and share their journey as well as participate in the activities that the group is engaged in. This can include research projects, collaborative business ideas, discussions and forums, and problem solving. They develop leadership skills, facilitation, social skills and inspiration for their projects.
This is a private learning pod that and can put you in contact with other home learners, for feedback and chats. Adult co-hosts are in a rotation. Children develop their leadership and facilitation by helping with new cohort groups. Placement for cohorts and meeting time is covered in the intake meeting.
