Output Specification/ Pathway Reflection
This Output is about designing a Permaculture Design Course to utilize the Socratic method of teaching. I’ve had much experience with the learning side of this technique and am ready to try my hand at the teaching side of it. It incorporates me posing the right questions to help engage my students into the subject matter. I’ve created an exam to engage the students in the subject of permaculture with a thorough investigation of the major assumption, primary themes, concepts and natural processes. This output fits well into the progression of my pathway in Gaia University. During my first year at Gaia University my pathway was based upon leading through examples. I added several demonstrations to the permaculture demonstration site I’ve been helping to develop. For my final year with Gaia University my pathway was moving into the educational realm of permaculture through workshops, branding my business and now hosting a PDC. Building upon my first year of enhancing the permaculture demonstration site I’ve been working on and upon my second year of moving into the promotional and educational realms of permaculture I feel it is a natural progression.
