Autonomy, Creativity & Resilience - The Wildlings Way
Episode description
In this episode, we talk about autonomy, creativity and resilience - the Wildlings way and how we’re on a mission to change the education system from the outside in, in the hopes that others can change it from the inside out. We shine a light on what we do here at Wildlings and why we want to see the Forest School philosophy incorporated into schools and childcare centres across Australia.
👉 DISCUSSION
- We want to see children respected, given more autonomy and control over their own learning, more play, more time outdoors and more focus on holistic well-being.
- We want to arm parents and educators with knowledge about schools that are doing these things so that you can take this information to your own schools.
- In order to have independent, resilient, creative and respectful adults, we need to create opportunities for children to be creative, to be respected and trusted to make their own decisions, to become independent, to not be micro-managed 24/7.
- We speak to children respectfully.
- Educators are not authoritarian.
- We provide the time, the space, the resources, and emotional support for them to be able to safely explore and learn in their preferred way.
- There is no adult agenda or curriculum attached to what we do.
- There is no rush to learn a skill.
- There is no grading.
- Failing is an important part of Forest School (and life)
- School P&C’s and parents have a lot of say about how schools are run, parents have a lot of power and sway over what schools prioritise for the holisitic development of children.
- Schools need to keep up as parents vote with their feet.
