課程介紹（Course Introduction/Scroll down for English ）
在教育青少年與兒童時，「一體適用」的方式並不成立。將樸門永續設計（Permaculture）融入他們的學習經驗，同樣需要依據不同年齡階段、發展階段以及生活經驗與教育環境來採取獨特的教學方法。
加入這場充滿知識與體驗的課程！這是一場專為幼稚園到高中的教育工作者所設計的培訓課程。就像樸門永續設計課程一樣，這個培訓將涵蓋多樣主題，強調自然界的模式與設計方法，透過涵蓋不同年齡層、教育場域、觀點與技術，提供豐富的學習內容。
Matt相信，即使教育工作者通常只專注於特定年齡層的學生，但理解各年齡階段的發展特性與學習目標對教育者來說依然具有無比價值。例如，高中教師可能會覺得幼兒園教學方法與自己無關，但並非如此！我們將從針對幼兒設計的教學方法中汲取寶貴的見解，從而提升各年齡層學生的學習體驗。
課程目標
- 喚醒每個人的內在小孩：重新發現我們內心最具好奇心與好玩的一面。隨著成人生活的責任加重，許多人被迫壓抑了這份天生的活力。本次課程將重新點燃這份火花，讓你成為更具活力與啟發力的教育工作者！
- 發展永續設計活動或個人行動計畫：在課程中，參與者將獲得指導與時間來思考自己的教學目標與計畫。透過課程中的遊戲與支持性氛圍，這個經驗將助你在永續教育領域中持續成長與發展。
課程內容
Matt將示範不同年齡層的學習活動，並提供適用於多種教育場域的有效方法與策略，包括公立與私立學校、校園花園、有機/永續農場與自然區域。

- 樸門永續設計在教育中的角色

Description:
One size does not fit all when it comes to how we teach our youth and children. The methods for integrating permaculture into their learning experience are equally unique to their age and developmental phases, as well as their lived experience and educational setting.
Join Matt in this informative and embodied learning experience for educators of youth and children, relevant from preschool through high school. Similar to how the permaculture design course incorporates a breadth of topics which reinforce the patterns of the natural world and methods of design, this training draws its strength from addressing a wide range of ages, settings, perspectives and techniques.
While educators will most often work within a specific age range, Matt’s philosophy is that there are valuable lessons in understanding the developmental phases and important learning goals for a wide range of ages. This kind of whole-systems knowledge and experience will strengthen your understanding and effectiveness as a permaculture educator.
For example, some teachers of high school-aged youth might consider the approaches for working with kindergarten-aged children to be irrelevant, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth! We will draw invaluable insight from approaches designed for the younger learners in the effort to enliven the educational experience for learners of all ages..
One of the key take-aways of this training is the re-discovery of the inner child in all of us. This is the part of us that was most playful and inquisitive, the part that saw the wonders of the world all around us. As our adult lives required a shifting towards greater responsibility, many of us were pressured to suppress the innate spark of our playful inner child. In rekindling this spark, we will enliven and enhance our roles as teachers and mentors.
Another take-away will be the development of a Permaculture Activity or a Personal Action Plan. You will be provided guidance and time during the training to consider your own goals and objectives. Drawing from the playful and supportive dynamic of the training, this flexible-format output will help propel you in your own teaching and learning journey as a contributor to the growing field of permaculture education for youth & children.
Course Content:
Matt will model learning sessions and activities for a range of ages, and provide useful methods and approaches for a range of educational settings ranging from public and private and from school gardens to organic/permaculture farms and natural areas.
Topics will include:
- The Role of Permaculture in Education
- The Theory and Practice of Embodying Permaculture
- Re-awakening our Inner Child
- Inspiration through Exploration
- Teaching to Multiple Intelligences and Alter-Abilities
- Permaculture-informed Class Management
- School Gardens as Permaculture Classrooms
- The Art of Questioning (and not needing to know all the answers!)
- Bringing Learning to the Land with a Farm School
- The therapeutic effects of nature-based learning
Course Activities include presentations, dialogue, activity modeling, sensory awareness games, group work and the development of a Permaculture Activity of Personal Action Plan.
