Sustainably Addressing Global Poverty – One Community Weekly Progress Update #332

Sustainably addressing global poverty is possible with a comprehensive approach. We think this approach should include complete sustainability practices and bringing resources to the places they are needed most, then teaching people how to use and replicate them so they can support themselves and help teach others how to support themselves too. Providing an example, training platform, and launch-point for a global cooperative of teacher/demonstration hubs working together for the Highest Good of all people and life on this planet.

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
  
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is sustainably addressing global poverty 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. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished. With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:

• Program Overview: Education Open Source Hub
• How the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
  
• Lesson Plans for Life – Lesson Plans How-to
• Foundations of Outstanding Leaders, Teachers, and Communicators
• Curriculum for Life
• Teaching Strategies for Life
• Learning Tools and Toys for Life
• Evaluation and Evolution

This week Dan Alleck (Designer and Illustrator) completed his 50th week helping. His work now is focused on final edits to the Ultimate Classroom renders. This week he started work on this Orange room where he added in new elements, replaced some items, and resized the people.
