Residency 2007
IHE M.Ed. and HECP students converged on our headquarters in Surry, Maine, for a week of Residency (July 9-13, 2007). Fifteen students, from all parts of the U.S., Canada, and from Kitale, Kenya, connected, shared ideas, and explored the power of Humane Education.
Our Residency July 2007 group, fully bonded and ready to make the world a better place through Humane Education!
Small groups practice role playing in order to hone their compassionate and critical thinking communication skills.
As part of Residency, students practice developing lesson plans as a small group and then share them with the entire group.
During the week, students hone their Humane Education skills by creating and sharing an activity or two.
Everyone especially likes the activities that get them moving and thinking!
