Today we are learning with an innovative school – One Stone. You may remember a previous podcast – Episode 29 – focused on the learning and leadership at One Stone. One Stone is a student-led and directed nonprofit that makes students better leaders. The program empowers high school students to learn and practice skills through experiential service, innovative initiatives, social entrepreneurship, and the radical reinvention of learning.
In this conversation we learn how One Stone creates the conditions for learners to connect to passion and the kinds of learner-driven experiences available at One Stone.
As a result of our conversation with Neva, Kylie and Bennett, we are thinking about the following questions:
- How are you releasing the passions of your learners?
- WHAT MIGHT BE if we created the conditions for learners to co-design relevant, contextualized learning opportunities?
