Students and teachers are human beings. Schools must bring this to light.

    This is so true Nick Covington! The system itself was built during a time when there was very little understanding of how children develop and learn. Given what we now know, I would argue that our school systems are actually creating obstacles to optimal child development and learning. Human Restoration Project

    Some folks in education apparently see changes made to school in the name of healthy human development as somehow detracting from the acquisition of academic content and skills. But these are shared and mutually sustaining goals. In a national survey of over 21,000 students, "tired", "stressed", and "bored" were the most common words students used to describe how they feel at school.?In an in-depth follow-up with 472 students, "75% of all feelings students reported...were negative." How well do we think tired, stressed, bored, anxious, annoyed, sad, lonely, and depressed kids learn at school? How could we both improve learning AND the experience of school if 75% of all reported feelings were *positive*, what would that take? What if we were responsive to this data in the same way we labor over and shift the system for test scores? ?? Recentering the structures and systems of school to support and sustain healthy human development *is* a path toward better learning AND growing better human beings! #restorehumanity https://lnkd.in/g9fwc9xN

    Third Coast Learning Collaborative Coordinator with Human Restoration Project. We learn what we live. “Our own self-realization is the greatest service we can render the world”~ Ramana Maharshi ????

    This evening, Human Restoration Project hosted our first advisory board meeting for the EIR grant funded project: Third Coast Learning Collaborative. Our student and parent representatives left us feeling grateful & inspired about this work. TCLC aims to reimagine middle school by combining two key components: interdisciplinary project based learning and feed-back driven, portfolio based assessment. In this randomized control trial we hope to capture positive impacts on student engagement, wellbeing, absenteeism, & academic outcomes. While we are only a quarter of a year into this 5-15 year project, there is so much excitement and fulfillment that comes from connecting with parents and students. The chance to hear about their perceptions of the project was such a bucket filler! To paraphrase one of our parent representatives: “this experience has already proven to be so beneficial for my child. She has never been this excited to come to school & to tell us about what she is working on. These experiences have led her to feel more confident and comfortable in her learning and alongside her peers.” ?? Follow along at thirdcoastlearning.org

    I am passionate about transforming schools to support self-directed learning. A couple of years ago, I was googling "student-centered learning" and found the Human Restoration Project, Chris McNutt and Nick Covington. I soon learned about the work they were planning in Muskegon MI and thought it was primed for a randomized study and they were interested. I reached out to my UVA colleague Tara Hofkens and invited her to work with them on an EIR grant. After several very intense months of grant writing, trying to figure out a budget, etc. HRP submitted the proposal with UVA as the outside evaluator. We were SO thrilled when it was funded! So rewarding to see the Third Coast Learning Collaborative in action! Cassie Nastase HUGE step towards demonstrating the value of #project-base-learning #student-centered-learning!

    What are we really measuring when we try to measure "intelligence"? Our latest episode is a conversation with art professor, disability advocate, author, and mother, Dr. Pepper Stetler, about how navigating her daughter's experience with Special Education led her to question the dark history behind IQ tests and what they really measure.

    This morning I got to speak with students at Grinnell College about my time as a student organizer in Iowa, specifically in my role as a facilitator for the Community of Racial Equity (CORE). Students were curious about how CORE organizers were able to combat opposition, maintain their mental and physical health, find community, and adapt to laws like HF 802 while fighting for equity and antiracism. It was so nice to be able to share my experience with future educators who can help raise the next generation of BIPOC student activists! Thank you to Prof. Petra Lange for inviting me.

    HRP at CASEL’s SEL Exchange in Chicago! It is always a wonderful experience to be in a room filled with like minded humans. Social-Emotional Development is foundational to the human experience. Students deserve systemic access to authentic SEL- not just as an add on, but weaved into all aspects of the whole. ?????? #advocateforstudentsvoices #selexchange2024 #restorehumanity ????

    How can education be reimagined to maximize human flourishing? In 2019, UNESCO convened the International Science and Evidence Based Education (ISEE) Assessment with input from over "300 scientists and experts from 45 countries from diverse disciplines." The full report, released in 2022, found that education systems around the world are aligned toward human capital and credentialism, *not* human flourishing. The report includes key questions and recommendations for policymakers, including: ? "Re-organize curricula, pedagogies, and learning assessments toward a whole-brain learner- centric, socially inclusive education for human flourishing that emphasizes interconnectedness instead of isolation between cognition, metacognition and social- emotional learning." ? "Replace credentialism and meritocracy that pits individuals against each other with potentiality which focuses on investing in self, and evaluation of self-growth over time." ? "Implement the six domain curricula (environment, culture, society, technology, interpersonal, self) for a learning experience towards human flourishing."
