This 90-minute interactive workshop introduces Cosmic Education–a Montessori-rooted philosophy that connects learners to the larger story of humanity, interdependence, and purpose-as a powerful framework for community college and higher education environments.
Participants will explore how cultivating curiosity, belonging, and collaborative learning can:
- enrich student engagement
- strengthen learning outcomes, and
- promote inclusive and student-centered pedagogies.
Drawing from the concepts of democracy, diplomacy, and project-based learning, this session reimagines traditional DEIA models through a cosmic lens–one that inspires hope, trust, ingenuity, and a sense of universal connectedness.
Faculty and staff will leave with tools to empower learners to see themselves as co-creators in their education and contributors to a just and thriving world.
