Curious Cartographers
/We're always exploring.
As dedicated explorers, we deeply value + respect the maps we craft + hone in ongoing effort to help orient, protect + guide us in our adventures.
We're Curious Cartographers, constantly crafting, examining, exploring + improving our maps. From our Crew Map to our Game Plans/Lesson Maps, to the goals + treasures we set + pursue in our Learning Logs—we delve into our Treasure Hunts with dedication + determination toward stronger + more sustainable Tomorrows.
Maslow reminds us all that in order to build high + reach far, we must first build a solid foundation—before we can venture further, before we can flourish + grow to pollinate future seeds of Tomorrow—we must first satisfy our most basic thirst for health, safety + love.
^^^Maps help us get there. Not only do they guide us + enable us to note obstacles + opportunities, but their reinforcing structure, shared language + joint commitment enrich our garden soil with security + love which flourish into generous strength—a fruit that nourishes All.
We engage each other's whole senses, whole brains—challenging + supporting each other in literally igniting minds, hearts + souls; sparkling defiantly against the darkness.
Of course we start by identifying + focusing in on our objectives. We remind each other of the various depths + dimensions of understanding, from simple recall to actually being able to use + grow our superpowers for good + Tomorrow. We meet each other where we are + lift each other + ourselves from there—always striving + reaching, stronger + brighter. We exercise + encourage metacognizance in ourselves + each other because we value + appreciate the Reality that we are responsible, accountable + standing upon the shoulders of giants, striving hopefully into brighter Tomorrows.
Feel free to explore rough + ever-growing versions of our current maps:
