Imagine all the people
Livin’ life in peace
You
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

KernCCD TALE Blog: The Pantheon of Experiences
In the most recent Kern CCD TALE Blog post, Porterville College’s Robert Simpkins shares the importance of experiences & out-of-classroom encounters for learning.
“When we reflect on our pasts, how many things that we have learned and have shaped us came from the classroom? How many things came from special events?
