Explore What’s Possible
It’s one thing to talk about the possibilities of community-based ecosystems of learning, but it’s an entirely different thing to see them in action. What does a child’s day look like? What roles do adults play? What kind of learning is actually going on? How will I know my child is learning? Who is my child learning with?
All of these questions invite the opportunity to imagine new and dynamic ways learning can occur in your community.
