National 4-H Council’s Post

"Teach your children to sit down and be quiet so they can learn" I was often told that my children would stand up, move about and wiggle in their chairs while learning in school. I was supposed to reinforce in them to sit at the table to do their homework and reprimand them when they would move away from the table. I DID NOT I believe the purpose of learning is to assimilate information in a way that it becomes meaningful and applicable in our lives. To achieve this, the learning process must align with the learner's intrinsic needs and preferences. So during Neurodiversity Celebration Week I would like to encourage everyone to consider this question: "What is the right way to learn?" Maybe we could try to see what happens if we are to allow children to learn the way they learn best. Maybe we need to unlearn how we learn and start all over again. Maybe we can just be curious and open minded. Maybe we get to see great positive changes ... How do you learn new stuff? #neurodiversitycelebrationweek #Howwelearn #divergentthinking #divergentminds Image ID: Let's open the door to a world of possibilities where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential, in their own unique way.

We're starting a new habit here - sharing our work in progress. A way to provide a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes of using design and creative skillsets to help innovators in social sectors communicate better and more effectively. So to kick it off, here are some recent illustration tests we've been creating for an organisation providing self-compassion training for young teens. The examples represent different parts of their workshops related to self-compassion, facing our inner dragon, discovering our superhero abilities, finding gratitude and making ourselves and the world a kinder place. How did you practice self-compassion today? #CalummaWIP

Once we established the "one off" THINK Global it was clear despite being small, we had some advantages. In a domain obsessed with large school groups, individuality is harder and harder not just to find, but to maintain --- [but] there are benefits in keeping your size small, but your impact significant. •Readiness to Adapt (especially re. Curriculum) •Supporters (seeing the adv. of something genuinely different) •Streamlined Clear Expectation (ours was mastery, passion and purpose) •Starting and Nurturing a New Community We were always vulnerable to the next shiny new thing, thus needed to keep our allure, consistency, and uniqueness. The ed-audience mindset can change with time, people get bored, attention always shifts towards whats new. If smaller boutique schools are to survive, we need to transform weaknesses into our strengths, and keep our authentic brand(s). #brand #uniqueness #community
