Residency 2007
IHE M.Ed. and HECP students converged on our headquarters in Surry, Maine, for a week of Residency (July 9-13, 2007). Fifteen students, from all parts of the U.S., Canada, and from Kitale, Kenya, connected, shared ideas, and explored the power of Humane Education.
Our Residency July 2007 group, fully bonded and ready to make the world a better place through Humane Education!
Small groups practice role playing in order to hone their compassionate and critical thinking communication skills.
As part of Residency, students practice developing lesson plans as a small group and then share them with the entire group.
During the week, students hone their Humane Education skills by creating and sharing an activity or two.
Everyone especially likes the activities that get them moving and thinking!

By the end of Residency, students have really connected and have honed their skills and shared ideas for manifesting Humane Education in ways that reflect their own strengths and interests.

What did our July 2007 Residency students think of the experience?
Here's a sampling:
"It went above and beyond. I learned so much spiritually, emotionally and intellectually."
~ Daryn
"I cannot think of a single way this could be improved."
~ Garth
"I am reinvigorated about the power of one. I am no longer on an island alone. Thank you for helping me see that. I learned about the power of letting go of assumptions and judgments."
~ Lisa
"Beyond my hopes. I knew it would be super – but it exceeded my expectations."
~ Phoebe
"The residency training was superb. It was all round; skill-wise, concept-wise, practically and very relevant."
~ Peterson
"Residency actually exceeded my expectations. I was focused on what I may gain academically from the week and highly underestimated (ironically) the humanity of the shared experience. Lovely, like-minded people coming together with graceful and gentle modeling from the faculty and staff."
~ Andrea
