Karen M. Ricks is a Christian wife, Worldschooling mom, and a nomadic chef. Teaching for 24 years, she has been a Montessorian since her own preschool days. She holds Montessori teaching certifications for guiding children from infancy through elementary. She has cooked professionally, in restaurants, commercial kitchens, and private homes on four different continents over the last decade.
After 10 years of teaching in central Japan, where Karen founded and operated her own international Montessori school, she sold it all to begin a nomadic life of full-time travel with her family. Karen spreads her message of embracing a Slow Food Lifestyle, a lifelong love of learning, and education for peace by teaching people of all ages how to cook for themselves and why they need to share that gift with those they love. You can learn more about her, her family’s edible exploits, and the lessons they are learning on their Culinary Worldschooling Adventures as they gallivant around the globe over at Our Kitchen Classroom dot com.
In this episode we discuss Karen's family's serendipitous journey overseas, embracing local foods, finding similarities, using the environment to teach children content knowledge, teaching many subjects through food and so much more!

Mindfulness and Multicultural Education
I know this will be a multi-part conversation because it is so huge. I am so grateful that Catharine blessed us with her gentle spirit and balanced approach to looking at multicultural education. A little bit about Catharine:

She is the founder of MindfulTeachers.org (//mindfulteachers.org) and the author of Being You: A Girl's Guide to Mindfulness, a workbook for teen girls on mindfulness, compassion, and self-acceptance.

understanding how we identify and how that impacts our view of others.
ways to confront internal biases
addressing biases you observe with colleagues
self-reflection as a critical teaching strategy
AND SO MUCH MORE!
