OUR SOURCES

To better understand our approach to education you may read some aspects of the foundations of our program, our program:
-    is part of the Twenty Year Vision long range plan NAS on campus programs.
-    is the praxis (in the Freirian sense) of our own educational philosophy.
-    is a learner-centered learning environment based in Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, (in our learning environment we apply William Glasser's Choice Theory)
-    emphasizes the Evergreen five focii and the expectations of our Evergreen graduates,
-    follows the brain natural learning function (you learn what you are interested in learning),
-    puts strong emphasis in developing communication skills and use of instructional technology (for distance learning praxis) we share our  learning during community visiting time (every tuesday or thursday), in our Saturday Theory to Praxis class, or via email using our program list or using our program moodle site, and by presenting our projects at the end of our experience.
-    uses Howard Zinn's A People's History of the US to help us find out more about who we are and why we are what we are,  (search for identity)
-    applies the Multiple Intelligences Theory (everyone is a learner, everyone is an intellectual), this is required reading.
-    is a community of co-learners and each one of us is in charge of our instruction,  our curriculum and our assessment and our main tool for this is Bloom's Taxonomy,
-    is committed to building community by creating our own Covenant and by making together this program the dream program each one of us always wanted.

We construct/justify our program process by studying/internalizing (reading, seminaring, creating/delivering workshops, discussing in small/large groups, writing our reflections via email, web crossing, self evaluations, talking during conferences, discussing in study groups. and applying/using) concepts from the following books:
-Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
-A Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn
-Choice Theory by William Glasser
-Intelligence Reframed by Howard Gardner (this is required reading for week one)
-Education for Extinction by David Wallace Adams.
-Embracing Contraries by Peter Elbow
-The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav
-Ceremony by Silko
-Broad and Alien is the World by Ciro Alegria (travellers to Peru)
-Indian Givers by Jack Weatherford
-1491 by Charles C. Mann
