There is a tendency in humans to procrastinate 😏 so sometimes it is really good to get a reason not to. As a reminder the Australian Regional Tourism Ltd (ART) convention early bird date is closing today (this post is from two days ago). Here are just 7 reasons to be in #mackay in October - #regenerativetravel with a guest speaker from New Zealand. This is the future of tourism (and our planet!) so get ready to start preparing for the future. This is a truly exciting space.... - #destinationstewardship and #destinationmanagement planning hear views from the front line from a great panel. - #agritourism a critical emerging area for us in region and one where Australia can truly be a world leader - understanding the value of regional #events beyond dollars. - Top tips on board governance. If you've been asked to join an RTO or other board with no experience this will be a 'must do' session - Insurance and how to keep it affordable. Last Sunday was the world's hottest day since records began - with increasingly unpredictable and severe climate events and a host of related topics (e.g., we are already needing to think about the next pandemic), this will be a real practical assistance to your destination and its operators - The Ask an Ambassador session is back by popular demand! An interactive session with our skilled and experienced ambassadors who can help you with topics from digital marketing, social impact, #accessible tourism, product development and much more. Many people tell us this makes attendance worthwhile on its own. Watch this space for more news on which ambassadors will be there. This is just a sampling platter of what's on offer. On which topic, I'm also told there might be local goodies you can purchase to take home such as rum, jam etc. Who doesn't love a little local merch? So what are you waiting for?

Here are the slides that Art Pugach of Queue Associates presented at our meeting this past Wednesday.

A joy to watch this film. Joy is one of the 10 essential threads of Original Learning - many of the other threads were being mentioned such as risk, time, imagination, interaction, wonder etc Also play. Play is at the heart of children being able to explore their fascinations - an atelier of this kind allows people to play with art materials - to really get to know them. That children with disabilities are being prioritized is fabulous - because if it works for them it usually works for everyone. Recent reading though is making me seriously question the word "special" though - and as an autistic person I have never particularly liked "special rights" - I have the same rights as everyone else - not special ones. Some children/adults need extra support/resources/time in order to access their rights. Special can make it feel a little othering at times. Maybe instead of special school it should be inclusive school? Maybe instead of special needs education - inclusive education? Or rights based education or educational support or? But there definitely needs to be more spaces like this where adults/teachers can practice teaching for/with learner autonomy and can not just know about it, but actually understand it - learning by doing

I've been thinking about....the paradigm shift to #authentic learning experiences. Now, hear me out. I call out the #paradigmshift because providing authentic learning experiences for our young people is SO much more than mimicking real-world experiences. It's about building #relationships among the adults in a #school, #district, and #community that result in enlightened collaboration that INCLUDES how we can work together to create actual experiences for young people that impact the world around them. Left alone, teachers, at best, can create versions of real-life experiences. And, in some cases, teachers are pulling together what's needed to create these opportunities for our young people but..honestly...they shouldn't be left alone to shoulder the effort. If we empower teachers by providing the structures, processes, and incentives needed for deep collaboration across a community....well, just imagine what they can do? One simple example is shared here by Jayden Balbuena Valles - a new colleague I met via collaboration here on #linkedin. Jayden is a part of a film maker team in Santa Ana Unified School District who, as a result of the intentional collaboration of a lot of adults AND the determination of young people, is creating real-world products for real-world clients. Imagine the impact on #motivation when young people come to school to learn in this way. Imagine the impact on #chronicabsenteesism when THESE are the types of experiences awaiting our young people. Imagine how much more possible this type of design can be when every single one of us sees ourselves as a part of making it happen (aka this is NOT a "teachers should...." type of shift). Feeling brave? Share an idea below about how YOU (yeah, not "they" or "them") can become involved in making authentic learning happen in your community schools. There.
