Meet the Students (A.K.A. Humans) of the Boring (into words) Scholars Collective - Sara Leland & Students

Title: Meet the Students / Humans of the Boring (into words) Scholars CollectiveListen Sara Leland’s students, five humans who have dyslexia, ADHA and/or autism. With Sara’s guidance and support they grew to love literacy. They joined together and built a website www.boringscholarscollective.site. The boring scholars used their writing, creative and artistic skills to express their love of reading and writing through the website. Learn how they became word detectives, deeply investigating the spelling, meaning and history of words. Sara shares how she develops a fascination for words in children who may have struggled with basic skills. She explains that the ultimate purpose of education is human development, helping children to grow into capable, curious, creative and empathic citizens. You’ll also learn how a philosopher views language, filled with metaphors and narratives, fueled by critical thinking.   Sara’s own website is: www.wordscholars.netSara can be contacted through the site or by email at: [email protected]
