We hope to build a community of teachers from across alternative educational spaces targeting holistic education to engage in exploration of what these ideas mean within the 21st century and how they translate to classroom practices. The community would allow teachers the space and opportunity to reflect on their journeys, share insights, learn from each other, experiment with practices and document effective practices. We envision the community of practice to adapt participatory, bottom-up approaches wherein the participants are regarded as the knowledge holders and experts. The community would create the space and opportunity for the sharing of the expertise held by teachers across various alternative schools. Finally, the participants will help contribute to the development of web resource which will host best practices.
As a community we work on:
- Honing pedagogical practices for equivalents of education for harmony
- Experimentation wherein educators embark on short projects to hone their practices
- Empowering educators and forefronting their voices and practices
- Collaborating and networking beyond the school one is associated with
