The Age of Unforeseen Outcomes | Chris Holmes | TEDxRiverfield Country Day School

Missouri'nin eski Yılın Öğretmeni Chris Holmes, nöroçeşitli torunuyla birlikte uzak su yolları ve unutulmuş tarihler boyunca yaklaşık 6.500 mil yol kat ediyor. İkisi de kendilerine uygun bir yer aramaya çalışıyor; konuşma, kesin cevaplardan çok bu yolculuğun ortaya çıkardığı sorular üzerine odaklanıyor. Yolculuk, nöroçeşitli çocuklar için bütünsel bir gelişim yaklaşımının parçası olan bir "yol boyunca okul" deneyimi. Yolculuk 2028'de vizyona girmesi planlanan bir belgesel filme de konu oluyor.

• Uzak su yolları ve unutulmuş tarihler boyunca 6.500 millik yolculuk
• Nöroçeşitli torunla birlikte yürütülen "yol boyunca okul" deneyimi
• Uyum baskısı, aidiyet ve cevapsız sorular

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
