ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is building a Highest Good society model through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• Learn about the components: Education open source hub
• Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  

This last week the core team finished another 25% of the Signs Lesson Plan mindmap which you can see here. The lesson plan that goes with this mindmap teaches all subjects to all learning levels in the context of “signs and symbolism”:

This last week the core team finished another redesign for the upcoming crowdfunding campaign laundry, bathroom, and kitchen dome. This newest design moved everything so we can put the electrical and plumbing in the central wall and is very close to what we believe will be the final design:
