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.

#CFP 46th International Conference for the #Fantastic in the Arts   Theme: #Night #Terrors March 12-15, 2025 Night Terrors can be conceptualized both internally, as the shadowy corners of humanity's #subconscious, and externally, as the unseen thing that lurks in the #shadows under the bed, in the woods, or in the quiet depths of space. In many ways, both internal and external #nightmares are manifestations of our anxieties, fears, and worries, which are buoyed by the nebulous unknown. Given the timelessness and cross-cultural similarities of human experiences, and as a creations of culturally-specific concerns and forms, sharing terrors give us the glimmer of hope that we can defeat these things. On internal levels, it means facing our fears, drawing on inner strengths, and creating community. Externally, it means making visible the unseen, and through the reliance on community, rendering #monstrosity benign and defeating it. Proposals might consider traditional horror elements (e.g. #ghosts, #vampires, #werewolves); stories of how children face their fears; the monstrous #Other - including culturally-specific monsters like the #BabaYaga; how fear and terror are represented in art and visual media; the terror of new technology; revisiting ancient terrors; ways that terror can be culturally situated; how to build space in order to confront our fears or other iterations of nightmares. https://lnkd.in/egCKxjQh
