This workshop is in cooperation with The Knowing Garden Elementary School: THE KNOWING GARDEN is a community Elementary school for the children and families of the Greater South Bay area. Slated to open this September, our school supports the development of the whole child through constructivist philosophy and the understanding that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas. We believe that a project-rich curriculum anchored in academics, hands-on experience and social plus emotional development will prepare our students to be critical thinkers who become lifelong learners and active contributors to the global community. With credentialed teachers, utilizing principles of humane education, low-ratios and developmentally appropriate guidelines, our learning plans will be generated in partnership with each child. Our students, from diverse backgrounds, become part of a greater community that values respect, mindfulness, creative expression, confidence, risk-taking, and concern for the Earth.  THE KNOWING GARDEN is a non-profit private school with a public purpose.  www.knowinggarden.org
