Love Maine Radio With Dr. Lisa Belisle

It's that time of year: back to school season. As fall descends on Maine and the weather becomes cool and crisp, kids (and adults) all over the state are readying themselves for tests, quizzes, homework, and all the other measuring sticks we use for learning. However, while traditional education might look a certain way, going “back to school” doesn’t necessarily mean returning to the classroom, just as "learning" doesn't necessarily mean receiving points and grades. In our latest episode of the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour, Bates College president Clayton Spencer and Derek Pierce, founding principal of Casco Bay High School, explain how learning takes place on many levels, and how understanding this contributes to a richer existence for us all. https://www.themainemag.com/radio/2013/09/life-lessons-104/
