OS to engage the whole child?

[Elizabeth Phillips]

Hi Valerie-

I am also interested in this idea too.  I work with after school
programs and we have been adding OST (and other methods) to our program
repertoire.  Some centers have started using the principles & law as a
way of establishing equity during center meetups and making sure the
children's voices are heard, while others are using it to create
developmentally appropriate projects.  

The biggest challenge to date has been changing the adults' paradigm.
They are used to teaching and directing so it is a bit of a shift to
move towards the role of the adult as a provocateur and facilitator.

Thinking today about a K-12 learning environment (both face to face and
some online) and the work we continually repeat which seems to preclude
any real innovation for those we serve. Is it possible to create and
sustain a permanent learning environment for children and young adults
based on the OS/AOH - a clear and bright way of action that engages the
whole child? I thank you for any thoughts.

Valerie
