Relationships by Bill Milliken

"It is relationships, not programs that change children. A great program simply creates the environment for healthy relationships to form between adults and children. Young people thrive when adults care about them on a one-to-one level, and when they also have a sense of belonging to a caring community."

More about learning

Education is all about making connections and building relationships around a persons passions which are significant. I believe this is absolutely true. I call this PASSION EDUCATION.

Definition of learning

"Students learn what they care about, from people they care about and who they know care about them." By Betty H. Carson

This is an excellent definition of learning as well as education. She hit it on the sweet spot didn't she!

Michelangelo's thoughts on education.

Michelangelo; "Inside every block of marble dwells a beautiful statue." We can't mold all students to be the same. Each individual has their strength and weakness. Every human being has their own PASSION. Take what they love and cherish and help them discover WHO THEY ARE.
