Эра непредвиденных результатов | Крис Холмс | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

Бывший учитель года из штата Миссури вместе со своим внуком с нейроотличиями проезжает около 6 500 миль по отдалённым водным путям и забытым историческим местам. Оба ищут своё место в мире, который часто стремится подогнать людей под единый стандарт. Выступление посвящено вопросам, которые возникают в ходе поездки, а не готовым ответам. О путешествии снимается документальный фильм, выход которого запланирован на 2028 год.

• Путешествие протяжённостью 6 500 миль по отдалённым водным путям
• «Школа в дороге» с внуком с нейроотличиями
• Темы конформизма, принадлежности и открытых вопросов

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
