Project World School, co-creates temporary learning communities around the world so that worldschooling teens and families can gain a group educational experience.

Project World School was founded by mother and son Lainie Liberti and Miro Siegel, who have traveled the world for over five years. Considering themselves to be “accidental unschoolers”, both have learned tremendously from their worldschooling experiences. Through their journeys, they were inspired to collaborate with other worldschoolers. From this desire, Project World School was born. Teens and guides collaborate to achieve the learning experience, enjoying natural and academic learning. Fostering social learning, teamwork, leadership, and immersive cultural experiences, Project World School supports and fulfills the needs of participants while creating strong connections to other participants, education, and the environment.

Teens who participate are inspired to continue their world travel and education. I agreed. Global Oneness Project | Bringing the World to Your Classroom. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

" Refusal to Speak or Reflect Meaning. 3 Steps that Transform Sibling Conflict into Sibling Camaraderie. My two kids, now ages 3 and 8, seem to have lots of minor conflicts. They argue in the backseat of the car because one of them wants "quiet time" while the other wants to sing or tell me about their day. They argue about the seating arrangement for dinner (who gets the special wooden chair, who gets to sit next to which parent). They argue about one being in the other's physical space ("Stop touching me!

") and over toys and markers ("I was using that first! ") Over the years, I have handled these disputes using a combination of different strategies, including "letting them work it out", "teaching them effective communication skills (ha!) " None of these have been as effective, efficient, and satisfying to me (or to them!) What I love about the micro-circle method is that: (a) it is fast and immediate (usually 6-10 minutes) (b) it does not require me to be "centered", patient, understanding, creative, impartial, fair, or empathic (in that moment) Your tools for this phase are simply:
