This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Outcome-Based Evaluation
A Working Model for Arts Projects
Measuring Joy: Evaluation at Baltimore Clayworks
Very interesting model that redefines educational objectives and that should be applied to all classes and educational environments.
I wonder how many teachers are able to look out at their students and find an observable level of joy, excitement of discovery, self-motivation and enthusiastic participation. If schools and teachers were encouraged to look for and promote these things, we would discover that the current focus on testing and test scores is way off the mark.
