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!  Remember to Subscribe to catch new episodes and to hear more wonderful educational ideas for the new world of education, please consider becoming a sponsor!

Evolving Education Globally will look at global education systems and discuss whether they are sufficient to meet the needs for children into the future. We will further explore how education has changed and answer a few essential questions: 1. How can we evolve education to meet the needs of children (mentally, emotionally, communally, etc)? 2. How did we get here? 3. What are some best practices and ideas that are working and what is not working and why? Just to name a few.  We will look at education systems globally and find solutions to the crisis in education.
