Instilling a passion to learn early in kids' lives can make a
huge difference in their success and their enjoyment in life. And
helping kids find that passion can create a vitality and sense of
purpose that can enrich our own lives.
Ray and Sandy share their personal stories of getting through
their school years without finding a passion that made sense of
their educational paths. Today, schools are less and less able to
provide the experiential education that could spark kids' passion
for learning. Budgets, curriculum mandates, time-consuming
coursework, and testing all combine to make it more and more
difficult for teachers to expose their students to experiences that
could fire their ambition and create a passion for learning that
could help them achieve their goals.
The stories in this book provide a taste of what is possible.
The book also challenges readers to consider their own ideas and
find a way to get involved. Ray and Sandy offer a format for
developing experiential-education projects so they are viable and
self-sustaining.
It's a win-win Students develop a passion for learning and
adults are rewarded with vitality and purpose that can carry them
through their active pre- and post-retirement years.
