Experiential Learning Experiential Learning, the process of learning by doing, is a practice followed rigorously at The DN Wisdom Tree Global School, a school as unique as your child. When students engage in hands-on experience and reflection, they are better able to connect the knowledge learned in the classroom with every day real-world situations. Active experimentation is an integral aspect of experiential learning. As part of the Biology syllabus on Crop Production and Management, mentors took children of Middle School grades through the steps of actual sowing and planting, while also discussing the impact of climate crisis on major crops and agricultural cropping patterns. This enables our young people's understanding of what is happening around them while it also helps them with information that they can act on. #thednwisdomtreeglobalschool #experientiallearning #CropProductionandManagement

Absolutely! Agriculture is a valuable subject to teach children in school. Here's why: Understanding Food Production: It helps children understand where their food comes from, the hard work involved in growing it, and the importance of sustainable farming practices. Scientific Exploration: Agriculture provides opportunities for hands-on learning about biology, ecology, and chemistry. Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking: Children can learn about challenges faced by farmers, such as pests, weather, and market fluctuations, and develop strategies to overcome them. Appreciation for Nature: Agriculture can foster a love and respect for the environment and the natural world. Practical Skills: Learning about agriculture can equip children with valuable skills like gardening, animal care, and food preparation. Incorporating agriculture into school curriculum can be a rewarding and enriching experience for children.🍅🥬🥦🍆🥬

By integrating aquaponics, schools are taking a giant leap in educational techniques, transforming traditional spaces into dynamic arenas where students actively engage with the lifecycle processes, sustainable agriculture practices, and ecological balance. https://lnkd.in/gwV4cuK7

Cultivating Knowledge through Hands-On Learning: A Practical Exploration of Soil Types and Plant Growth Teaching is at its best when it connects theory with practice, and my learners (ages 7-9) recently demonstrated how collaborative efforts can yield remarkable insights! During a Basic Science lesson, we explored soil types clay soil, loamy soil, and sandy soil. Instead of merely discussing the theory, we turned the lesson into a practical group activity to deepen understanding and spark curiosity. We began by collaboratively labeling and organizing our resources: various soil types, water, maize seeds, and bean seeds. With excitement and teamwork, we filled nylon (pure water) bags with different soil samples. Each group then planted maize and beans in their assigned soil type, carefully observing and nurturing the setup over the next few days. The results were both educational and eye-opening! The seeds germinated across all soil types, but the loamy soil stood out as the most fertile and conducive for plant growth. This practical activity not only reinforced the scientific concept that loamy soil is best for farming but also instilled valuable skills in collaboration, observation, and critical thinking. Through this experiment, my learners gained hands-on experience and a clearer understanding of soil fertility and its impact on agriculture. As they grow, they will carry this knowledge with them, empowered to make informed decisions about planting in their future endeavors. This activity also highlighted the power of teamwork and resourcefulness in solving real-life problems a skillset critical for their growth and for contributing meaningfully to their communities. I am incredibly proud of my learners for their enthusiasm, curiosity, and ability to connect classroom learning with real-world applications. This is the kind of education that transforms minds and prepares the next generation of changemakers. #SoilScience #HandsOnLearning #TeachforNigeria #AgricultureEducation #STEMEducation #EmpoweringLearners FLORA GABTONY (Flourishing Flora) Nwachinemere 1 of Ebenile Jemima Nnamdi-Iweha Sammani Emmanuel Ifeoluwa Fajemirokun Sunday Daniel Obiaraije Jonathan WINIFRED CHUKWUMA

Solving tomorrow's problems today is at the core of STEM education at Carroll, and our students are exploring new ways to feed a growing population. Check out this story in The Catholic Telegraph about how the next generation of agriculture and Catholic social teaching intersect in Carroll classrooms. ⛓: https://lnkd.in/gU_yYKaJ #stem #sustainability #catholiceducation

How can you help teach plant science in the classroom? Pass along these tips to the educator in your life! https://ow.ly/I6kQ50RaKR4 #seedyourfuture #SYF #plants #plantscience #horticulture #education #classroom

No student is too young to learn where their food comes from or about the value of plants in our economy, fashion, or pharmaceuticals! We need to work together to increase the pipeline of future plant science professionals. Fostering passion and appreciation for plants is the first step. #horticulture #seedyourfuture #students #plantactivities #plantscience #ilovemyplantjob #educators #parents

In an era where entrepreneurship and innovation are key to success, imagine if more schools like SECMOL existed—schools that foster practical skills, leadership, and real-world problem-solving instead of just focusing on exams. SECMOL, founded by the brilliant Sonam Wangchuk, is already breaking barriers by providing an alternative education model. But what if we could take this concept even further? Aspiring entrepreneurs and children from family businesses could greatly benefit from such a hands-on approach to learning. Imagine schools where students not only learn math and science but also how to start and manage a business, develop leadership skills, and tackle the challenges of the real world through experience rather than just textbooks. For startups and new-age entrepreneurs, these kinds of schools could nurture the critical thinking, adaptability, and innovative mindset needed to succeed. And for children who are set to inherit family businesses, this educational model could provide them with the practical leadership and management skills they need to lead their family legacy into the future. Schools like SECMOL give us a glimpse of what’s possible—an education that’s not about passing exams but about preparing students to thrive in a world that values creativity, resilience, and practical knowledge. The future of education lies in fostering these entrepreneurial mindsets from a young age. #Entrepreneurship #FamilyBusiness #EducationForTheFuture #AlternativeEducation #Startups #LeadershipDevelopment #SkillDevelopment #InnovativeLearning #HandsOnExperience #FutureLeaders

🌱📚 Nurturing Growth: Comparing Farmers and Educators as Cultivators of Potential 🚜🎓 In the rhythm of nature, farmers sow seeds, tend fields, and harvest crops, each year embarking on a journey of growth and renewal. Similarly, educators, like diligent gardeners of young minds, prepare for the arrival of new students, nurturing their potential with care and dedication. Let's explore the parallels between these two essential roles: 🌱 Preparing the Ground: Both farmers and educators set the stage for growth, whether it's tilling soil or organizing classrooms. 🌱 Planting Seeds: Farmers sow seeds for crops, educators introduce students to new knowledge and skills. 🌱 Nurturing Growth: Farmers tend crops with care, educators provide guidance and support to students. 🌱 Celebrating Progress: Farmers harvest crops, educators witness students' growth and celebrate achievements. 🌱 Continuous Renewal: Farmers reflect and prepare for the next cycle, educators adapt methods to meet evolving student needs. In both fields, nurturing growth is a timeless art, shaping futures and fostering abundance. 🌟🌾 #Education #Growth #NurturingPotential #TeachersAndFarmers

I’m currently working with an elementary school to bring agriculture to life through hands-on, authentic learning experiences. The goal is to increase engagement and learning. The theme for the school this year is agriculture and want to deliver learning experiences for not just the students, but the educators as well. We’ve carved out time this school year for each grade level to engage in small projects that connect directly to their curriculum standards—all centered around agriculture. Here’s a sneak peek at the topics the educators have selected for their grade level: Kindergarten: Sunlight, Weather, and Living Things’ Needs 1st Grade: Animal Adaptations 2nd Grade: Diversity of Life; Form and Function 3rd Grade: Simple Machines 4th Grade: How Animals Receive and Process Information Through Their Senses 5th Grade: Modeling the Movement of Matter I need to create five, one hour lessons that stack upon each other for the final showcase during each of the discovery days. To enhance the learning experience, I want to bring in outside experts who can offer new perspectives on the importance of agriculture. If you’re involved in this field or have relevant insights, I’d love to connect! I am organizing virtual expert sessions to kick off each Discovery Day (dates listed below) where professionals can share how agriculture intersects with their work. If you’re interested or have any ideas on possible hands on projects, please let me know. I’d be thrilled to connect with you. Of course, like everything I will share the whole things when ready for launch. Here are the Discovery Days: Thursday, January 9th, 3-4pm Thursday, February 20th, 3-4pm Thursday, March 13th, 3-4pm Thursday, April 19th, 3-4pm Ag Day: Friday, May 16th (All day)
