La era de los resultados imprevistos | Chris Holmes | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

Un exganador del premio al Mejor Maestro del Año de Misuri recorre unas 6.500 millas por vías fluviales remotas e historias olvidadas junto a su nieto neurodivergente. Ambos buscan su lugar en un mundo que suele presionar para que las personas se ajusten a una norma. La charla se centra en las preguntas que surgen del viaje más que en respuestas definitivas. El recorrido forma parte de un documental previsto para 2028.

• Un viaje de unas 6.500 millas por vías fluviales remotas
• Una experiencia de aprendizaje en ruta con un nieto neurodivergente
• Temas de conformidad, pertenencia y preguntas abiertas

A former Teacher of the Year takes his neurodivergent grandson on a 6,500-mile journey through remote waterways and forgotten histories, as both struggle to find where they belong in a world that keeps trying to conform them. Both are left with more questions than answers... and that's a good thing. A veteran teacher with a wide range of classroom experience, Chris Holmes currently serves as a gifted education specialist, grades 8-12. A better description would be Humanities teacher, having also taught journalism, literature, government, history, psychology, and creative writing. His work includes giftedness, twice-exceptionality, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, and dropout prevention. Most recently, it also includes a version of homeschooling, which applies a holistic approach to adolescent development for neurodivergent children. One of these "road schooling" journeys, this past July and August, is being captured in a documentary film scheduled for release in 2028. Chris is the 2015 Missouri Teacher of the Year, and the 2009 Missouri Governor's Council on Disability Educator of the Year. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
