    UPDATE: I wrote this post in haste while upset and worn out after a meltdown of a system I’ve been caring for for a long time. After talking to some people in the network, who I insulted with my brashness, it’s […]

      Hi Drew, I read about 2 thirds of it (because life). I would say that we, at Mont-Libre, decided to join the ALC network for four main reasons: it is not expensive, it offers a network of support, the agility idea and the free webiste for us and our teens. For this reason, I would like us to find a ways to keep that cost low since the accessibility and how friendly user the wordpress is made it easy for us to strat something and to also show to parents that teens could do exciting things quite easily at the centre, in this case, building website. So I have two suggestions, each centre could pay 12,99 each year to improve the capacity of the network. Assuming that you are refering to is helping everyone manoeuvre through their webiste and blogs as not being cheap, we could potentially use a sliding scale for each centre where depending on the profit each centre make they would pay small percentage of it to ALC to help with IT if that makes any sense.

    Yes, the code for the theme is available here: https://github.com/AgileLearningCenters/alc-wp-theme-make-child

    However it’s a little bit broken at the moment, I haven’t been able to update to the latest version of the make parent theme. This probably isn’t the best implementation of a sticky shrinking nav. I would invite you to fork the code and…[Read more]

    Great post! I find video games to be a great way to practice the cycle of intention setting, creation, and reflection. They are well suited for intentional play. Beat this boss, complete this objective, master this skill, play 5 rounds. I suggest checking out Abe’s serise on mindful minecraft: http://abram.agilelearningcenters.org/series/mindful-minecraft/

      The “too many presenters” review is interesting to me in that it was my very first but temporary reaction to the presenting at ALF Summer 2016 that first Monday. My opinion quickly shifted once I got a more thorough view of how the whole team operated together, realized it was just the team’s style and saw the treasure of it.

      Common struggle is one hell of a unifying force.

    Thanks for the thoughtful comment @abram! It reminds me of a quote I attribute to you, which sits on the ALF Community Mastery Board at the top of the “awareness”.

    Ad-hoc, organic hierarchies of knowledge and ability are always-already forming under a ‘do-ocracy’
