In Episode 23, we speak with the founders of Springhouse Community School in Virginia, Ezekiel Fugate and Jenny Finn. Springhouse Community School seeks to create a culture of connection to self, community, and Earth. Springhouse sees the school as a place to explore questions such as:
- How does a child successfully shed his or her childhood to fully enter adolescence?
- What does a young person need to deal with the complexity of adolescence?
- What does it take to emerge from adolescence prepared for young adulthood?
Our conversation prompted the following questions:
- What learner-centered aspects of Springhouse are most intriguing to you?
- What did you learn today that you can use to move your school or district toward learner-centered?
