LearningHappens has been, in one form or another, an email address of mine since 1990. Learning Happens is something I’ve known in the core of my being all my life. In the sixth grade at Giffin Elementary School thanks to David Bilbrey who was an awesome learning f̶a̶c̶i̶l̶i̶t̶a̶t̶o̶r̶  partner (disguised as a 6th grade teacher) I began to consciously embrace and internalized the concept that learning ought  to be self-directed, passion driven & shared amongst your community (be that community a classroom, neighborhood, county or world).  Moving on to South High School there were other learning f̶a̶c̶i̶l̶i̶t̶a̶t̶o̶r̶s̶  partners who further instilled the concept of passion-driven learning — chief among them Charles Baum & The Game. I attended college on my own terms seeking out learning outside of a scripted major. I learned during our family’s homeschooling journey to reconsider the concept of even considering leading a horse to water.  As another _school year_ for The Farm School’s Satellite Campuses Program begins (it began July 1) I realize how absolutely blessed I am to be one who scatters & tends to acorns in the forest garden of life-long learning and am so grateful and thankful to all the wonderful learning f̶a̶c̶i̶l̶i̶t̶a̶t̶o̶r̶s̶ partners I’ve encountered from my birth to today.
