予期せぬ結果の時代 | Chris Holmes | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

元ミズーリ州最優秀教員のクリス・ホームズ氏が、神経多様性のある孫とともに、人里離れた水路や忘れられた歴史をたどる約6,500マイル(約1万400キロ)の旅を語ります。二人は、人々に画一性を求めがちな世界の中で自分たちの居場所を探します。講演は確かな答えを示すよりも、この旅が投げかける問いに焦点を当てています。旅は神経多様性のある子どもの思春期の発達を総合的に支える取り組みの一環で、2028年の公開が予定されているドキュメンタリー映画にも記録されています。

• 遠隔地の水路と忘れられた歴史をたどる約6,500マイルの旅
• 祖父と神経多様性のある孫が一緒に行う「ロードスクーリング」
• 画一性、帰属意識、答えの出ない問いがテーマ

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
