Designing for Human Flourishing
Designing for Human Flourishing
Emancipated Learning embodies a culture of creativity and learning that uses human centered design to solve problems and promote human flourishing. This model values diversity, equity, and inclusion. It challenges young people to build their agency to affect change, agility to seek out and navigate complex dilemmas, and to access their character and purpose. All within a learning culture of belonging and becoming.

Intrinsic Motivational Model for Flourishing = AUTONOMY + MASTERY + PURPOSE as described by Daniel Pink
EMANCIPATED LEARNING = SEL + PBL + PURPOSE
EMANCIPATED LEARNING = SEL + PBL + PURPOSE
By discovering what moves them, identifying needs they care about, and uncovering personal strengths, students are able to find purpose and the direction required for them to make meaningful contributions by servicing needs in their community and the world.
SEL helps students gain the autonomy needed to apply knowledge, attitudes, and skills to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Project-based learning is a mastery learning process where students use empathy to connect with a human centered design approach that gives them freedom to practice applying a growth mindset as they develop grit.

Love of self and love of others. The former is necessary to then be able to empathize with and be “in service” to/with others. (Randy Ching & David Clifford)

You

Your story, your strengths, and your skills make you great. Your passions will be contagious.
Creativity
Creativity
The vulnerable and courageous skill of being
"creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers...artists, designers, storyteller, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers."
-Daniel Pink.
We believe everyone has the capacity and courage to be creative.
Purpose
Purpose
When you feel a sense of purpose, that you belong to something greater than you and that you contribute, you feel alive and grounded on this planet. When you feel alive and grounded, you want others to feel the same.
Trust
Trust
Relational trust is the glue in equity-centered design work. We must be capable of identifying and sharing emotions with others for healing and to prevent distortions in our work. Give trust to earn trust.
Equity
Equity
We must develop greater capacities to make equitable learning environments more widely accessible. Schools where diversity, equity, and inclusion are esteemed and valued so we can collectively move towards true social justice and healthier communities.
