California School Boards Association’s Post

A lot has changed over our 100-year journey, but life-changing education has always been at the heart of what we do.   Box Hill Boys’ Technical School left a lasting impact on our 1950s alum Eric Dettman, who recounted some of his fondest memories and the friendships, lessons and challenges that shaped his life.   Check out Eric’s video below, and discover more centenary stories on our digital timeline 👉 https://lnkd.in/gNtasdm3

Our CEO and Founder Christopher Lloyd spoke about how to inspire children with a lifelong love of learning at PINC 2023 in Sarasota. The education system has not created a good environment for curiosity to flourish. It's important to ask children what they're interested in, not tell them what they need to know. The '5 Wows' will help children to connect knowledge together and give it a more lasting impact: 1) Big picture. 2) Using our hands. 3) Visualisation. 4) Discovery. 5) Choice. At What on Earth! we put the '5 Wows' into our books, resources, and What on Earth! Magazine. Watch the whole talk here: https://lnkd.in/eHYANsmp
