If you could learn or study anything, what would you choose? If you had ample time, space and a little support, could you learn and grow as a person? Can you develop your own style of creativity, or relationship to the discovery process?
These are the questions that the Walden Project explores, with a small group of teens who take a school year away from 'regular' school, get college credit, get out in nature and have a unique educational experience.
As a lead educator and program designer, Andy Webster is fully immersed in this wonderful process that is at times chaotic, at times very inspiring and always innovative. He shares his unique perspective on what happens to students when they are not forced to learn neatly boxed 'learning bits' throughout the day, and how this can help shape and inform their lives.
