अप्रत्याशित परिणामों का युग | Chris Holmes | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

मिसौरी के पूर्व वर्ष के शिक्षक क्रिस होम्स अपने न्यूरोडाइवर्जेंट पोते के साथ दूरस्थ जलमार्गों और भूली हुई ऐतिहासिक जगहों से होकर लगभग 6,500 मील की यात्रा करते हैं। दोनों उस दुनिया में अपनी जगह तलाशते हैं जो अक्सर लोगों को ढाँचे में ढालने की कोशिश करती है। वार्ता में यात्रा से उठे सवालों पर ज़ोर है, न कि पक्के जवाबों पर। इस यात्रा को 2028 में रिलीज़ होने वाली एक डॉक्यूमेंट्री फ़िल्म में दर्ज किया जा रहा है।

• दूरस्थ जलमार्गों से होकर लगभग 6,500 मील की यात्रा
• न्यूरोडाइवर्जेंट पोते के साथ सड़क पर पढ़ाई का अनुभव
• अनुरूपता, अपनापन और खुले सवाल

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
