Book excerpt: Which Path Will You Choose? Go to school, get good grades, get a respectable degree, land a well-paying job with benefits, work hard for forty years, retire, and enjoy what's left? If that's the path you desire to take, this book is NOT for you. This book is for the dreamers. The C students whose teachers told them they would never succeed. The rebels who understand that we get one shot at life and refuse to waste it building another person's dream. The chained-up movers and shakers who know there is more-but aren't quite sure how to get there. It's your choice- Take the traditional path and follow society's standards, or come along with John Stankiewicz, beyond the classroom, and find out how to lead the life of your dreams. This is the story of how John broke free from society's conditioning and found success in the world of entrepreneurship through network marketing. John was- kicked out of high school, launched some successful (and some failed) dorm-room business ventures, lived and traveled overseas, and eventually became a top income earner for ages 25 and under in his Network Marketing company. John shares his experiences and all of the most crucial lessons he learned that were imperative for his success along the way. And guess what? Although he earned a degree in applied mathematics with a minor in economics from a prestigious university, none of his life lessons were learned through traditional schooling. Don't quit your day job-yet-until you read this book. This book will- entertain you, inspire you, and ultimately shift your perspective to what is possible in this world, show you where to place your focus to get the results you are looking for, show you the ups, downs, sacrifices, and process of what it takes to achieve your dreams, and ultimately, you will come to know that the possibilities are endless once you put yourself out there. John is on a mission to help empower his Generation Z'ers and millennials to accomplish their wildest dreams-beyond the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book asks readers to adopt a critical and comprehensive view of education (pre-K to lifelong learning) as existing both within classroom walls, and in the surrounding world, including communities and workplaces. It presents an integrated view of online learning, community schools, communiversities, and learning through work. Our educational systems are organized in ways that make this integration difficult. We have elaborate systems of formal instruction––academies, schools, universities, and training institutes––all to facilitate learning within the walls. At the same time we have ample opportunities for learning in the wild. Unfortunately these systems diverge to the point that they do little to support learning that allows us to draw from both of the realms of knowledge. But it is possible to bring together learning within the walls with that beyond the walls. Moreover it is crucial to make these connections in the world of today. In order to bring together the classroom and daily life we need an educational system that does that as well.The book provides a coherent account of how schooling can and should relate to learning beyond the classroom walls.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning outside the classroom is increasingly seen as beneficial in both early years and primary settings, and it is becoming embedded in the curriculum, but what are the benefits of this approach? What do children learn from being outside the classroom? This book explores why learning beyond the classroom is important for children, and offers practical examples of how to improve outdoor learning experiences for all children. In the face of the increasing restriction of children's outdoor experiences, it will help the reader rise to the challenge of finding creative opportunities for working across the curriculum through outdoor activities. Chapters cover: - the theory behind learning outside the classroom - transition from early years to primary practice - what outdoor learning looks like, in different contexts - teaching and learning across the curriculum outdoors - how to evaluate the effectiveness of different outdoor activities, and learning outside the classroom as a whole. Each chapter has case studies, thoughts on theory, points for practice and summaries to help readers digest the most important information. Critical thinking and reflective practice are encouraged throughout to support consideration of how outdoor learning relates to the curricula in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Sue Waite is a Research Fellow at the University of Plymouth, where she leads the outdoor and experiential learning research network in the Faculty of Education.
