HundrED WEBday Featuring Jennifer Finn, Head at the Springhouse Community School

The theme of the month for March 2019 is Diversifying Education. Throughout this month, we want to explore how to make education an inclusive experience for everyone? We look at the innovations creating an equal playing field. Join Jennifer Finn, Head of School at Springhouse Community School from the US as she goes live with some of her students on the HundrED Facebook Page to share how they integrate STEAM in their school with students of all levels and abilities.

Join Jennifer Finn, Head of School at Springhouse Community School and a HundrED Ambassador from the US as she goes live with some of her students exploring questions like "Why do we silo subjects like math, science, and art when life itself is whole and integrated? What can we learn by focusing on a phenomenon, such as building a sailboat, using different lenses?"

 

Where and when is the webinar?

Wednesday WEBdays are via Facebook Live and we invite everyone to actively participate in the conversation! You can access the Webinar by joining the HundrED Facebook page.

Join the conversation on Wednesday, March 27, 2019, at 15:00 (UTC).
 

Who is Jennifer Finn?

Jenny Finn is a co-founder and the Head of School of Springhouse Community School.

She understands that relationship to the world around us begins with the connection we have to ourselves, and Jenny's work, in all its forms, fosters this deeper connection. To live in relationship with ourselves and with the world, it is essential that we learn how to traverse the landscape within.

In a culture that often fosters separation and disconnection, Jenny’s research, mentoring, and teaching foster greater intimacy with all of life by exploring creative and courageous ways to face discomfort and navigate vulnerability. She has worked in the healing arts field for over twenty years serving in various areas including non-profit management, trauma and hospice care, spiritual care and chaplaincy, clinical private practice, and education. She is honored to serve the important mission of reimagining education in ways that foster wholeness and connection at Springhouse Community School.
