Review for Institute for Humane Education, Surry, ME, USA
I saw Zoe Weil speak on TED talks about 6 months ago after my friend kept using the term, "solutionary." I thought, "Whomever coined that term is a genius." Then, I found IHE and the programs that are offered to educators to deepen their pedagogical practices and to learn how to bring students from solutions-oriented students to solutions-makers. I immediately fell in love with the institute and its mission and vision for the world. I have been a monthly contributor to support the continuation of this crucial program. It is more than a mindset shift that the world, especially educators, needs to have. It is a heartset shift. The free resources available to classroom teachers and the graduate programs available for educators (to learn how to approach project based learning through the solutionary lens) provide the framework, tools, and practices that are necessary to elevate the next generation to their seat at the head of the table. The world will undoubtedly be stronger with more solutionaries.
